My story

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

Alvin is a lap lover! His favorite thing in the world is his person and spending time with them. He sleeps on his foster mom's lap while she works on the computer or watches a show on tv. He dives under the covers in the bed at night to sleep next to her. Alvin wants to follow her from room to room. Don't be fooled though, this little 4 pound and approximately 5 year old man can tell all the big dogs in the house to back up and stop the mischief with his big Chihuahua attitude. Alvin is very enthusiastic about a game of fetch and is really quite fast. He travels well in a car, went on a trip with his foster mom, and was a perfect travel companion, even at the hotel. As long as he has his person he is a happy boy! His foster mom will have a very hard time saying goodbye so she wants someone that will adore this little man and stay in touch.

Alvin does get cold easily and needs sweaters and heat packs for warmth. Although he prefers to go potty outside on a leash he will go on a potty pad if he has to. We are looking for a home for Alvin with someone who is home a lot, is really looking for a companion to go everywhere with, and someone who will protect him being so small. He will not be placed in a home with small children or large dogs as his size and attitude could put him at risk of being sat on, stepped on, tripped over, or hurt. He adopter must live in the Central Florida/Orlando area where we have volunteers for home checks. If you have been looking for a tiny companion to love like Alvin please send in an application and let us know more about yourself and all the things you hope to do with him.
