About Shorty

Chihuahua mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. 5 year old male Chihuahua / terrier mix, about 9 pounds. This is Shorty, an adorable 9 pound, 5-year-old, male Chihuahua/Terrier nugget who is equal and endless parts love, attitude, and entertainment. THINGS SHORTY LOVES AND IS VERY GOOD AT Adoring, protecting, and loving his owners. Faces (for every mood�'�|his best is looking skeptical). Snuggling, sitting on your lap, burying his head into your chest, back scratches, and being by your side. Other animals in your home that will let him cuddle with and dote on them. A fenced in yard he can run around and bark at birds in. A bed to sleep in with you or a family member. Walking short or long distances, rain or shine. Learning to go potty outside, even when it is raining out (which is a huge feat for a small chihuahua). Being playful and downright hilarious, but also chilling out. Basic commands like sit, come, stay, place, treat, and no. Disciplining himself when he knows he has been a bad boy. Being in or out of a crate while you are away from home. THINGS SHORTY DOESN'T LOVE AND WILL NEED TO KEEP WORKING ON Strangers in 'his' home. He is known to growl, and may even try to bite, if proper introductions are not made or the owner is not in control of the situation. For this reason, he cannot go to a home with children. If you are someone who rarely has other folks over, Shorty is PERFECT for you. Other animals that don't like him or let him cuddle them. If they don't like him, he won't like them right back. If they love him, he will love them back, and he falls hard. Neighbors who may not like any barking. Well, they may not love him. He is not a super barker, but does like to bark at unfamiliar noises, so an apartment would not be the best fit. Shorty's fosters love him more than they ever dreamed possible and hope you can provide him the furever home he can continue to love and thrive in. Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older, and always before being placed in their new homes. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at [email protected] or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. If you live within a five-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
