Tinky the Chihuahua

SHELTER News:

Tinky is a young female Chihuahua with big ears and a delicate build. She was surrendered because her owners couldn’t keep two dogs in their rental home.

Tinky is about a year old and very shy around people, but she’s good with other dogs. Sunshine and a nice warm blanket make for an ideal place for her. She needs to go to a home with no small children.
