Meet Cristy! This sweet, teensy 9-pound, roughly 4-year-old Chihuahua mix was pulled from Moreno Valley, where she was at risk due to limited space and an upper respiratory infection. Now safe in foster care, Cristy is settling in beautifully and showing off her velvety-soft fur, loving personality, and playful side.
Why Cristy Will Steal Your Heart 🐾
🎂 Age: 4 years
⚖️ Weight: 9 lbs
💛 Velvety-soft coat, loves pets and scratches
🐶 Friendly with people and other dogs
🛋️ Perfect lap dog and couch potato
🚶♀️ Leash trained and potty trained
🛏️ Making progress with crate training, sleeps through the night
Cristy is a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she’s all cuddles and silliness. She loves to play gently with her foster dog brother, enjoys being brushed, and even lets you put on sweaters without complaint. She’s happiest snuggled close, making her an ideal companion for quiet evenings or lazy afternoons.
The Home She Needs 🏡
Cristy would thrive in a home with:
✔️ No small children (she hasn’t spent much time with kids)
✔️ A dog-savvy family, possibly with a small companion or gentle larger dog
✔️ Adults ready to offer love, lap time, and structure
With her tiny size and sweet personality, Cristy is looking for someone who will cherish her as the affectionate little shadow she is.
