Foxy the Papillon

Heeeeeere’s Foxy! This 5-pound lady has a beautiful, longhaired toffee and cream coat with a very showy plume of a tail. Her foster mom sees her more as a Chihuahua in appearance and vivacious personality. Typical of tiny breeds allowed to run the show, she initially came into the rescue expecting to be served pheasant under glass and wanting to constantly be on her designated person’s lap or carried about. Now, Foxy is discovering healthy, nutritionally dense dog food options. She is learning that she can be content lying in a bed on the floor and that spending time in a crate is not a sign of punishment. Feisty Foxy gets along with the family dogs that tower over her and initiates crazy games of chase with them! She is absolutely beside herself when it’s time for walks and draws smiles and compliments from passersby. Because of her size, she would do best in a home with adults or families with older children who are mindful of her safety and well being. She is housebroken and will stand at the door when she needs to go out. Her new owners will respect the fact that Foxy is not an ornament but a dog first and foremost, requiring frequent daily walks, stimulation, and training to realize her full potential as a loyal companion.
