About Chico

Adoption Fee: $425.00
Chihuahua
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

CHICO is a sweet 7-year-old 10 pound male Chihuahua. LOCATION: Pensacola FL NEEDS: Calm, quiet home with a fenced yard. HIGHLIGHTS: Sweet and loving boy, housebroken! Okay as an only or with another small, calm dog. Chico's owner left him unexpectedly due to a bad living situation and the person they left him with was not able to keep him. She reached out to us and we were really glad we said yes to him. He was confused and petrified when he came in and we moved him to a quiet foster home as soon as we could so he could feel safe and relax. Now that he's settled, his foster mom says Chico is the best dog ever! He is so sweet and friendly! Chico is laid back and loves his person and is a great lap dog. He is a cuddler who enjoys sleeping in his person's bed at night. He would like to spend lots of time with his person, loving on them and being loved on! Chico gets along well with other small dogs and would prefer a home where he's an only dog (as long as he doesn't spend too many hours alone) or with another calm small dog like himself. He hasn't shown interest in playing, but he does like the company of a furry companion. Chico was in a home with kids although we are not sure of the ages. We believe he would be fine with calm older kids. He has not been around cats but as chill as he is we don't think he'd have a problem with them. Chico is housebroken and will tell you when he needs to go outside. He walks well with a harness and leash, and really loves to go for walks. However we would prefer a home with a fenced yard. He is very interested in doors and gates and will sneak out if he has an opportunity, something to keep in mind! Chico has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, neutered, has been fecal tested, is heartworm negative, has had a 12-month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration. He had a much needed dental and lost all his teeth but he is eating well.
