Teacup and her siblings were dumped in a high kill shelter in West Texas They are believed to be siblings to Cyrus, Helio, Kai and the others.They are good with dogs and kids, cats are unknown. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training.
She came up to Minnesota with 17 other buddies mid August 2023. It was obvious that she didn’t spend much time outside before making the journey up north. She was scared to go out and wasn’t potty trained at all. In less than a week of being here, she has started going to the bathroom outside (most of the time). I’m sure in a short amount of time she will be fully potty trained and ready for more training!
Teacup loves other dogs; she has 3 foster brothers that she absolutely adores. One is 40 pounds, one is 55, and the third is 90 pounds and she gets along with them all. Sometimes the dogs want to use her as a toy since she only weighs about 5 pounds! I’m not sure how she would do with cats as she has never been around one, but if I were to guess I would say there wouldn’t be an issue.
Teacup loves to play, cuddle in bed, and sit on your lap while you’re working on the computer. She likes treats but isn’t super food motivated. She can be a little picky about what kind of food she wants and takes her time eating. She loves to model for pictures and is very photogenic!
Teacup had never seen a tv before and she watched half of a movie with us the first night that she got here! She was so interested in what we were watching!
She does bark occasionally when there’s someone at the door, but she would be a great apartment, townhome, condo, or house dog! Teacup loves to love and wants to be your best friend. She would be great with adults or kids.
Come meet Teacup and see if she could be your “cup of tea”.
