Hi, my name is Tara, and I’m a sweet 7-year-old girl looking for a forever home to call my own. My owner became sick and boarded me while she was in the hospital. Sadly, she never came back for me. Now, I’m hoping someone will open their heart and give me the second chance I deserve. I may be a little older, but I still have so much love to give! Every dog deserves a family to love them forever, and I’m dreaming that my family is out there waiting for me. Could it be you? Visit richardsonrescue.org to learn more about adoption.
About Tara’s reported breed
Chihuahua
Listed as Chihuahua
The Chihuahua is a Toy Group breed that the AKC recognized in 1904. AKC gives a general life expectancy of 14-16 years for the breed. Chihuahuas tend to be devoted to one person or family and reserved toward strangers, so early socialization matters. The breed is prone to periodontal problems and tends to become obese, so dental care and portion control matter.
Breed information describes general tendencies. It does not tell you Tara’s personality, health or ancestry. Ask Richardson Rescue about Tara as an individual.
