I’ve been named Deaja by my rescuers in Mexico. I’m about 5 years old, a female Terrier mix and under 25 lbs.

I was found along the road, having lived my life in the streets and forests of Playa del Carmen. I’m super sweet, but still a little nervous with all the changes.

Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with heartworm, but the treatments started right away, and I am still on it to make sure there is no possible proliferation. I should be free of them within the year.

I’m good with other dogs, learning to have an indoor routine, but I will need some time and patience. I think I would also enjoy having kids around to show me love and affection.

If you think I could be a good companion for you and your family, put in your application.
