**Roo is available for adoption in Los Angeles only** Roo is a 13 week old Chihuahua mix that was found as a stray with her sister Maple in Kern county. She and Maple ended up on the euthanasia list and were pulled just in time to spare their lives! Roo was born with a defect in her front elbows where she can't fully extend her front legs and uses her forearms to hop around. We are currently determining whether surgery or remaining the same is the best option for her in the long term. Roo is a very happy little girl who loves to love and be cuddled by her human! She can't wait to meet her forever home!

Chihuahua

🧠 Temperament

Bold and deeply bonded to one or two people. Chihuahuas are often wary of strangers and can be snappy if they were never taught that hands are safe — early gentle socialization matters.

🎾 Exercise

Low — short walks and indoor play are plenty.

✂️ Grooming

Easy for both smooth and long coats. Dental care is the real priority; small breeds are prone to tooth disease.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Extremely apartment-friendly and easy to carry on the subway. They get cold fast and need a sweater most of the winter.

Adoption fee $400
