CCB# 104698 Eva 2 Yr. Old, Mini- D aschund/ C hihuahua Cross, Approx. 10 Lbs I am spayed and current on my vaccines including Rabies. I was found in the streets and am a bit shy - I just need reassurance from you that you won't leave me behind. Then watch out! I am very playful and energetic, am super friendly and love people. All I want is a loving, forever home with someone to give my love to. I would be better off with an older couple or a single person that likes to do some traveling. I'm not too good around young children (they have even more energy than I do!).
