My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

~adoption fees apply~

My name is Diego and my family left me at Animal Control because they had no time for me. They would leave me alone in my crate for very long hours all alone and then would be upset when they came home to find I was not clean in my crate so instead of trying to be home with me and spending more time with me leaving alone at the pound was easier. Maybe for them but not for me – I was very terrified there!
It was so very loud … the noise never, ever stopped and my anxiety was about to blow right through the roof but thankfully a very kind volunteer contact CAA Rescue and one of their volunteers picked me up within hours and I was in foster care in no time!!

My first couple of days in care were ruff … not my fault. I do try so hard but it just takes time to learn the rules especially since in my previous life I was not really shown any of these things. So if you choose to adopt me you should be sure to be patient and consistent with me because I do learn fast! I like to do my business outside; in fact I like outside a lot so if you have a fenced in area for me that would be absolutely The Bestest because I like spending time in the back yard sniffing and hanging out sun bathing

And while I am dog social with dogs my size I am not a big fan of bigger dogs so ideally a home alone where I can be the spoiled one! Remember my breed is Chihuahua and while I may be a little man I can sometimes think I am bigger and tougher than all the other dogs so I need a friend who understands this about me and won’t ever risk my life by bringing me to a big dog park. And will be hyper vigilant when meeting new big dogs on walks who may not like little dogs … we have the making of a perfect storm and sadly while I think I am a Monster Dog I will lose any battle with a larger breed
I need a hyper vigilant friend to always watch my back!
I absolutely love to go on walks; so if you like walking don’t worry about me and my mini legs they can totally keep up. You would be surprised about the amount of energy a little man like me can have!
I am a young man and ready to hit the ground running!

I like cats though and don’t mind being around them but what I love the most is just one person. I am a one person man and I love to give kisses and get pets and snuggles. I attach very easy to the one who loves me the most – loyal as the Monday is long!

True to my breed I am 200 lbs of personality packed into a little 7lbs body! I run a very tight ship and am the boss of everyone. I am a total SpunkMunster who loves nothing more than to be with you doing whatever you are doing!
Want to sit quietly with your tea reading a book? I will gladly snooze on your lap!
Looking to go to obedience classes to learn more about how to communicate with me best and meet like minded doggie people; HECK I would not miss it for the world!
What to go for a stroll together and say hi to the mailman? I am your guy!
Want to eat dinner in front of the TV while watching your favorite show? Nothing would make me happier than to sit with you!

Honestly I am a fun and funny little man!

I am not suited for apartments because I like to announce everyone’s arrival into or out of the home; so best suited for a home with a fenced in back yard

No children under the age of 12 please; regardless of your experience. While I have been friendly with everyone I have met I just really don’t think I should live day in and day out with kids.

I just need someone to be patient and consistent and really truly want me in their lives.
I am not a fashion accessory although I do like to be dressed in the latest cruelty free fashions!
If you have never had a Chihuahua before please consider reading up on the breed; a lot of people think because I am small I need to be babied or that it will be “easier” with me and that couldn’t be furthest from the truth!
I am affectionate and smart; I learn real fast and am the most loyal man you will ever meet!
I have been through a lot in my short little life so I need a best friend who is serious about committing to me … I can live to about 18 years old so that means there is the potential to be together for 16 years and to some that is a long time commitment!
So come what may:
moving,
new partner,
new job,
new friend,
new city,
newly developed allergies …
I don’t care; I just always want to be with you through all these things happening in your life and be a priority in your life.
I am a sensitive and caring man! I promise to love no one or thing more than YOU! It is not so wrong to only want to be loved back, is it?

If you are looking for a best friend and promise to always love me for the rest of my life; if you are reading my story and know that it is me that is missing in your life and that I am the one that can make your heart complete please email CAARescue@gmail.com and ask them for an application for adoption. It is a few questions and it will take no longer than 20 minutes to complete but once you do that we can meet to see if we truly are soul mates
