Meet Bianca, a resilient cream-colored beauty who is ready to leave her heartbreaking past behind and start her fairy-tail beginning in NYC! At just 2 years old and 13 pounds, Bianca is the ultimate story of survival and second chances. She was rescued from a mountainous region in Mexico, where she was found fending for herself, battling a severe tickborne illness (treated since), and heavily pregnant. Tragically, despite immediate medical care, none of her six puppies survived. Her care team also discovered a small BB pellet lodged in her limb—a quiet reminder of the cruelty she once faced. Yet, despite everything she’s endured, Bianca’s heart remains completely open to love. In the care of our wonderful West Coast rescue partner, she has spent her time in foster care showing everyone just how forgiving, loving, and radiant she truly is. She brings pure joy into every room she enters and has thrived in a home environment. Now, it’s finally Bianca’s turn to be cherished. Quick Stats: Age: ~2 years old Weight: 13 lbs Breed: Short-haired Chihuahua Coat: Soft cream Arrival: Arriving to the East Side of Manhattan mid-day on Wednesday, October 7 Health Note: She will require a spay procedure, and possible foreign body removal at the same time. Bianca is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which gives you the wonderful opportunity to welcome her into your home, help her settle into city life, and ensure she’s the perfect match for your family before officially adopting. After surviving the mountains and losing so much, Bianca deserves a lifetime of warm laps, soft beds, and endless love. Ready to give this deserving girl the home she’s been waiting for?
