In the shelter’s words

* This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, November 7th from 12PM – 3PM (unless adopted prior to the event). 3910 Middlefield Road All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption. Adoption fee: $650 Jiggle: Tiny Girl, Big Dreams of Couch Ownership Jiggle is a tiny girl with a big appreciation for life’s little luxuries: a comfy couch, a neighborhood stroll, and a person who knows just where to deliver the booty scratches. This 5–6 year old, 6.9 lb Chihuahua mix is ready to settle into her favorite role: somebody’s very loved little companion. This petite mama has been through more than her fair share. Jiggle gave birth in a shelter and spent almost four weeks raising her babies in a kennel before DPS could rescue the family. After working so hard to care for her puppies, she deserves a home where someone can take care of her—and where the best seat on the couch has her name on it. A Professional Pillow Percher At her foster home, Jiggle has discovered that couch pillows make excellent observation decks. She loves to perch on top of one, supervising the household in comfort. She enjoys being near her people without needing to follow their every move, and once you’re in her circle, you’ll have a sweet, affectionate little friend. When her foster dad comes home from work, she trots right over to collect her welcome-home pets and scratches. She's also content to perch herself on a lap and settle in for a good snuggle. Her wish list is wonderfully straightforward: good company, gentle affection, and somewhere soft to park her tiny self. One Ear Up, Walking Shoes On For all her lounging expertise, Jiggle is also an enthusiastic walking buddy. When she realizes an outing is coming, she sits up on her hind legs with her front paws in the air, one ear up and the other down. It’s quite a persuasive argument for grabbing the leash! She walks nicely without pulling and happily joins her people for a good stroll, then returns home ready to resume her couch duties. She’s a lovely balance of “let’s go explore” and “shall we watch another episode?” A Cozy Kind of Day Jiggle starts her day around 7 a.m. with a potty trip, breakfast, and a walk. She isn’t particularly food motivated and sometimes prefers to finish breakfast later—apparently, a lady needn’t rush her dining experience. The daytime hours offer plenty of opportunities for lounging and keeping her people company. Dinner is around 5:30–6 p.m., followed by another neighborhood walk and an evening watching TV with her foster family. After one last potty break, she settles into her crate for the night. Little Lady, Lovely House Manners Jiggle doesn’t chew or dig, can relax at home on her own, and can be left uncrated. She sleeps in her crate at night and has been a well-behaved little houseguest. She is doing very well with housetraining and heads to the back door when she needs to go out. She can also use potty pads if needed. Her tummy can be sensitive, and now that she's not with her babies, her foster is working on figuring out a food that will keep her digestive system happy. Friendship at Her Own Pace Understandably, Jiggle can be nervous when meeting unfamiliar people or dogs. She may announce a visitor with a bark, but she warms up quickly once she gets the memo that you’re her people. On her first day in foster care, she barked and snapped at the resident small dog. By the next day, she was mostly ignoring him, and now they coexist comfortably. She would likely love being someone’s one and only, though a friendly, low-key canine companion could also be a fit with patient introductions. She's not one who's going to play with or engage with other dogs, but can be in the same home or near them, as long as they respect her space. A Peaceful Place to Call Her Own Jiggle would thrive in a quiet home with adopters who give her a little time to settle in. Older, gentle children may be a fit; a busy household with small children would likely feel overwhelming. Loud noises can startle her, including on walks, so she needs a secure harness and an attentive walking companion. She may bark at unfamiliar visitors or noises near the front door, especially if another dog joins in, but in a peaceful environment she is generally quiet and easygoing. Jiggle has done the hard part. Now she’s ready for soft pillows, familiar footsteps, leisurely walks, and a family who thinks a tiny dog with one ear up and one ear down is exactly what their home has been missing.
