Chico (born around July of 2021) is a tiny brown chihuahua mix that came to the sanctuary after he was found as a stray and ended up at the community shelter. Chico is a bit shy with strangers at first but seems to warm up quickly to most everyone he meets. He loves his lap time but is a very active little guy who enjoys exploring his surroundings, going for walks, and searching for treats in our ball pit. He is looking for a loving family that will tell him consistently how absolutely adorable he is!
