Meet Wayne Animal Shelter's 'Pet Of The Week'

WAYNE, NJ - Say hello to Chiquita.

The one-year-old Chihuahua mix can be shy when she first meets people, but soon warms up to new friends, according to the Wayne Animal Shelter.

The pup is up to date with her inoculations, happy, playful, and gets along well with other dogs and cats. She also makes the perfect companion, the shelter said.

If you’ve been looking for a cheerful, little pup who loves being in your company, spending time in your arms or on your lap, then make plans to meet Chiquita. Just be prepared to fall in love," the shelter said.

For further information, call 973-694-0767 during the shelter's adoption hours, which are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6 to 8 p.m., and from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Wayne Animal Shelter is located at 201 Pompton Plains Crossroads, just off Route 23 at the Jackson Avenue exit.
