I would try Chihuahua and small breed rescues and keep checking the shelters. Surprisingly enough, the shelters I worked at have had white Chihuahuas more than any other colors.
Most good shelters and rescues will have the dogs meet before the adoption is finalized. If the place you go to does not require that, I would still request it.
There are 3 factors to consider when introducing dogs: size, gender, and age. The more factors they have in common, the more of a chance there may be fighting. Since you want another small dog, I would concentrate on getting one with a significant age difference and/or a male. Of course there are exceptions to every rule and two females who are both small and the same age certainly may get along. It all boils down to individual personalities and circumstances.
There is a greater chance of two females fighting than two males. When females fight, the fights are much more severe and one will usually draw blood. You can relate this to high school. .. boys tend to just punch each other and be done with it whereas girls will hold grudges.
If you do decide you want another female, be sure she's an easygoing one.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
