MEET TALLULA - A Sweet Girl with an Endearing Spotted Face, Eager to Show Her New Family She's Ready to Learn about the World.
Name: Tallulah
Gender: Female
Breed: Chihuahua Mixed Breed
Age: 14 weeks old (est. date of birth 11/14/24)
Weight: 9.75 lbs
Current Location: Nokesville, VA
PERSONALITY
Tallulah is a friendly little girl who will seek out her humans for affection.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This wee girl needs the right supervision to keep her on the right path while she grows.
This little girl is too young to hold her bladder for more than four hours so she can’t yet begin crate training. She is, however, doing a good job going potty outside in the yard and using the pee pads when she’s inside.
COMPANIONSHIP
Tallulah is full of puppy energy. She loves playing and napping in equal measure, loves humans and craves their company, whether hanging around her people indoors, or exploring the outdoors.
This friendly little girl enjoys following her humans around in the yard when they're exploring outdoors.
TRAINING AND LEARNING
Every day Tallulah learns new things about the world and about how to have good puppy manners. Potty training is going well and she is doing a good job using the pee pads. She likes sleeping on her elevated Kuranda bed. She does a good job sitting for attention but she still needs to be encouraged to keep sitting or she will soon pop up, unable to contain her exuberance
TRAITS AND IDEAL HOME
The ideal home is one with a patient family ready to help her learn to be her best self. She would thrive in a home where she will be lovingly rewarded for learning commands, how to politely walk on a leash, stay quietly in her crate, greet people with good manners and all sorts of other important doggy skills. As she learns, she will reward her family with sweetness and loyalty.
LOVE AND AFFECTION
Tallulah’s foster mom reports that each day, she shows more affection. She loves when her humans pet her and she is almost brave enough to climb into a lap for snuggles. She does love to be held and give kisses. In her kennel, she entertains herself while also entertaining anyone watching, as she engages in adorable play with tug toys, stuffed toys and nylabones.
If you’re searching for a pint-size pup who will be a super sweet and loyal companion, this may be your girl.

This pup is too young to be spayed, and her future family will need to arrange for this at the appropriate time.
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
