Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Are you looking for an amusing little fellow who will brighten your day? Well, look no further. My name is DEXTER, and I'm a three-year-old Chihuahua who wants to be your loyal pal for life. I'll be a fun and lovable pet in a home where the kids are older and considerate of me. I get along great with other dogs, but I'd need to be in a home without cats. They tend to worry me, maybe because I'm smaller than most cats. It takes me about one minute to get comfortable with a new person, but after that, I'll hop up into your lap and cuddle you like we're old friends. Once you get to know me out in the play yard, it will be difficult for you to resist my charms. I truly enjoy going for walks, and I'd do best if we do that every day. You'll be happy to know that I've already been house trained, and I know how to sit on command. I'm not just cute, I'm also smart. I sure hope you'll come visit me here at the El Cajon Animal Shelter so we can get to know each other. Just ask one of the helpful staff if we can go out to the play yard together, then you'll see what I special little guy I am. Love, Dexter" Kennel #59
