Description:

If you grew up in the ’80s, you probably remember making Shrinky Dinks. We have a feeling this little Shrinky Dink might become your favorite one yet.

One look at her adorable little underbite and you’ll be smitten. Then she’ll wiggle her whole body, flash those wonderfully goofy little teeth in the biggest grin, and before you know it, you’ll be completely in love.

This tiny Chihuahua has the sweetest, gentlest soul. She’s quiet, affectionate, and perfectly content to curl up nearby while you work, happily snoozing until it’s time for snuggles.

Don’t let her seven-pound size fool you—Shrinky Dink absolutely loves big dogs. She has the sweetest way of introducing herself, lowering herself close to the ground and staying ready to roll onto her back as if she’s politely asking to be friends. She reads other dogs beautifully, respects their boundaries, and has a knack for winning over dogs many times her size.

Shrinky Dink is also quite the tiny conversationalist. When she’s happy, snuggling, or trying to engage with you or another dog, she makes the funniest chatty little cooing noises, almost as if she’s carrying on a very important conversation. She’s even been known to curl up on her foster dad’s chest at bedtime and coo directly at him, which is every bit as hilarious and endearing as it sounds.

She’s also wonderfully independent. On a sunny afternoon, she’s perfectly happy to stretch out in the sunshine alongside her big dog friends. But the moment you call her name, she comes running with a happy little wiggle and that irresistible underbite on full display.

Shrinky Dink is cat friendly, house trained, and loves ending the day with cozy snuggles.

She’s the kind of dog you fall in love with at first sight—and somehow, even more once you get to know her gentle, silly, wonderfully chatty soul. If you’re looking for a tiny best friend with a heart much bigger than seven pounds, Shrinky Dink may just be your perfect match.
