Reda is a petite, mature Chihuahua with a big personality and an even bigger heart. After arriving from Texas, she’s been dazzling her foster family with her unique charm. Reda is undergoing heartworm treatment, so her current activity is restricted, but don’t be fooled—she’s already proving to be a curious, cuddly, and quietly courageous little lady who’s just waiting for her forever person. She’s not a fan of being scooped up or dressed like a doll, but once she trusts you, she’ll reward you with wiggle-waggles, belly rub requests, and devoted companionship.
Why She’s the Ultimate Couch Companion With Character
🐾 Fiercely loving once bonded—expect happy dances and a loyal shadow
🛋️ Blanket burrower extraordinaire who loves to nest at your feet
🎭 Quirky, expressive, and full of personality (with just a dash of sass!)
🚙 Great in the car—quiet and calm in a crate
🚶♀️ Growing braver and more curious on daily walks
🚽 Potty trained and well-behaved, just as a classy lady should be
What She’s Looking For
✔️ A calm, patient home that respects her boundaries
✔️ Adults or dog-savvy kids over 10 who understand her need for gentle handling
✔️ A family open to continuing her care during heartworm treatment (covered by the rescue!)
✔️ A home with small dogs or as a solo diva
✔️ Someone who sees her not as a purse pup—but as the brilliant, brave soul she is
Reda is not your average Chihuahua—she’s got a rich inner life, a strong spirit, and so much love to give to the right person. If you’re seeking a soulful, snuggly companion who chooses connection on her own terms, Reda just might be your perfect match. She’s available through our Foster-to-Adopt program while she completes her heartworm treatment—with full support from the rescue. Could you be the patient, loving hero she’s been waiting for?
