​

Santana was born here at SFC and is ready to retire. She has had a few amazing litters for us and has made a lot of wonderful families with her babies. Her babies inherited her amazing temperament and loving demeanor. Santana is fully health tested, and has had one dental cleaning. Her shots are up to date. Santana is an absolutely stunning girl with a heart to match her beauty. She is incredibly friendly, social, and loves being around people—she’s the kind of dog who greets you with a happy, wagging tail and settles right in as if she’s always belonged. Santana has a warm, easygoing personality and thrives on companionship, making her a wonderful addition to a home looking for a loving and loyal companion. She carries herself with grace, confidence, and charm, and truly embodies both elegance and affection.

🐾 Santana's Personality & Training

Santana is a very sweet, gentle soul with a calm nature. She is:

• Pee pad trained

• Dog door trained

• Pen & crate trained

• NOT currently leash trained

She enjoys the company of other Chihuahuas, loves warm blankets and laundry, and can often be found sunbathing or digging for worms. She adores toys, chewies, water play, and is eager to please her special human.

She may be a little shy at first in a new setting or with new people—but once she settles in, she truly blossoms into a loving little companion.

🏠 What She’s Looking For

Santana would thrive in a home:

• With or without other dogs (including larger breeds)

• That may include small children or cats

• Willing to be patient while she adjusts

• Committed to spaying her within 120 days of adoption

Potty Training Disclaimer:
While she is potty trained here, we cannot guarantee she will be in a new environment. Like all of our rehomed adults, we recommend being open-minded and ready to reintroduce her to a new routine.

Please also read our post below on the 3-3-3 Rule—it helps outline what to expect during a dog’s transition period.
