Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Age: 3 years | Gender: Male
Breed: Chihuahua mix
Dogs: YES | Kids: YES (Older) | Cats: No
Status: Available
Vinnie is an adorable boy who loves snuggles and long walks heart emoticon As far as Chihuahua mixes go, he's on the bigger side (for a Chihuahua!) but he's still a small pup. He has a very happy, active personality and loves to play! He is house-trained, loves to go outside, and is good on-leash. Even with his playful side, he is still a snuggler and will be happy to hunker down with you for a movie!
He should be OK with other dogs and older kids, but no cats need apply, sorry kitties! Vinnie's personality is so outgoing and playful that he is just too much for a cat. But he'd love a doggy brother or sister to play with!
Vinnie has a tendency to try to 'protect' his home from strangers, so when new people come to call, he might try to bark and scare them off. With a confident handler and consistency in training, this behaviour should diminish, and Vinnie will learn to trust that his humans have everything under control.
