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

Chiquito - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life!
Chiquito means young or little one, often a term of endearment for a small child. This little fella comes in at just 12lbs. And he would love nothing more then to be your little boy!
At 2 years old Chiquito is house trained and out of that puppy destructive stage. What a great combo for his future family. He would probably do best in a quieter home with an older person or someone that works from home.
He is a tad bit shy at first meet but warms up once he is given time to get comfortable. A few tasty treats also helps get him comfortable (hint hint!). Once he knows he's safe he'll be showing his sweet and playful side in no time.
Chiquito does fine with other dogs and having a confident playful sibling would help him feel more secure.
He will need to be brushed a few times a week to help keep his coat tangle free and him looking his dapper self.
This cute little Chiquito has the makings of a wonderful companion with a little help from his family. Some patience, kind words and gentle pets go a long way with this little guy. Are you the family he needs?!
