DOB 1/1/18, weight 11 #
Hey there, everyone! I’m Campanita, a very sweet, calm chestnut-and-white Chihuahua/ Dachshund mix, which is also known as a Chiweenie. I have the upright “bat” ears of a Chi and the Doxie’s elongated torso. My name is Spanish for Tinker Bell (as in “Peter Pan”), and I’m an affectionate, lovey-dovey gal who likes nothing better than to be nestled in my foster mom’s lap. Since I particularly like to hang out with hoomans, I follow my foster mom around the house just so that I can be a gentle, quiet presence near her. I get along great with the resident cats and well-behaved dogs in my foster home.
I was rescued from a heartless owner who endlessly bred me so that he could sell my Chiweenie puppies. Finally when I was eight years old and had a difficult time birthing my last litter, he realized that he couldn’t exploit me anymore. It did not take much convincing by my HOPE volunteer advocates that it was in my best interests for him to surrender me to them. Boy howdy! That was the first day in the rest of my life! How things changed when someone started loving me – no strings attached -- instead of trying to use me for personal gain.
Despite my tough history, I’m resilient! Now I’m ready to get firmly ensconced in everyone’s lap in order to share my sweet disposition and calm companionship with my forever family. Could it be you who will surround me with all the love I so deeply deserve? If so, arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave tiny paw prints all over your heart – just like I will patter around as your little shadow, following you throughout the house as you go about your daily activities.
