Description:
Meet Sarita!

Hi, my name is Sarita. I am told I am a very cute Chihuahua, white with brown markings in just the right places to make me interesting. The first day I came to my foster mom's house I left the yard under her gate and caused all sorts of commotion in the little town where I stay, as everyone tried to find me. A big man chased me over the corn fields on a Gator, a scary little jeep that doesn't hurt the crops. He chased me until I was tired, then did a flying tackle from the Gator and caught me. After spending a cold, hungry night outside I learned that "there is no place like home." I am now content to stay in my house and yard. I still frighten easily and worry about hands coming at me, but at the same time I hate being left out of anything. The three dogs I'm staying with, sleep in bed with my foster mom. After one night next to them in a cozy, comfortable crate, I now join everyone on the bed. I love to quietly sit next to my foster mom on her chair when she watches TV or reads. I also follow her around to see what she is doing. Humans do the most fascinating things! I am very quiet, once in a while I softly cry when I want something, but I never bark. The Alpha dog at this house is a Rat Terrier named Penny. She lets me cuddle with her and looks out for me. The other rat Terrier, Mattie teaches me things I don't know, but I'm not too sure about the big bulldog that follows me around. I am almost potty trained. When I am taken outside, I go - I just haven't figured out how to tell my foster mom when I need to go outside I feel safer going outside if she goes with me. I am fine with children, but they need to be patient and gentle with me. I don't know how to play, but I am willing to walk on a leash if I can follow Penny. I will be happy in a quiet house with one other dog, preferably a smaller dog, but I'm willing to try it alone too, because I really want to be loved. I am only two years old and Chihuahuas live a long time. If you adopt me I will be your loving companion for many years. Do you like my new summer outfit?
