Introducing Sweet Pea!

Our latest addition to Precious Paws just arrived last Tuesday evening. This little girl is named Sweet Pea - or so her collar says. We don't know a whole lot about Sweet Pea, other than that someone found her left with another little Chihuahua inside of a box in the park a couple weeks ago. Thankfully someone was passing by and heard them inside the box and brought them to a Toronto shelter. It was the middle of December and being two senior, small dogs, they wouldn't have stood much of a chance if they'd been left for too much longer.






On each of their collars someone had written their names - Sweet Pea and Spanky. Unfortunately the shelter they ended up at had to make the difficult decision to euthanize the little Chihuahua, Spanky, as he had health issues and was not doing well. But little Sweet Pea was transferred to Precious Paws just in time.


Sweet Pea suits her name well. She's a darling little girl with a big personality. She demands attention from people she is comfortable around, even crawls up into her foster mom's lap and whines at her until she gets affection. Sweet Pea was at the vet today for her big dental surgery - being a senior Chihuahua she of course had bad teeth. But she's all fixed up now, with pearly whites to show for it - although not too many anymore!


We try not to dwell on this little girls past, especially because she certainly isn't! She's full of life and love and all she's looking for is a warm lap to curl up in for the rest of her retirement years. Little Sweet Pea will be with us in fostercare until she has found a permanent home of her own - and we're certain that won't take too long. Despite her age, we thinks she's sure to win some special person's heart - and she certainly deserves a happy ending!
