My personality

My story

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

I’m a little Chihuahua mix named Vinny. I’m about 5 years old, weigh 6 lbs and I was dumped in a neighborhood in San Antonio Texas. My little heart was broken and I was extremely scared so I went into the first open garage I saw, and then refused to leave when the people tried to chase me away. I ended up being picked up and taken in by 4 Little Paws Rescue and my foster mom is awesome. She was patient and kind so it wasn't long before I decided to trust her and now I’m friendly, sweet, and affectionate. I get along with other dogs but they are not my focus and I’m not playful with them. I’m very low-key, independent, and not into playing or doggy toys. I’m more the household supervisor, indoors or outdoors wherever my foster mom wanders, I’ll probably be watching nearby. When she’s not home, I’m chilling out on a well-chosen dog bed, minding my manners, not chewing on stuff that’s not mine, not digging in the yard, and not going potty inside. I will walk on a leash with some encouragement and I don't mind going for a ride in the car. I will be moving to Connecticut next week to find a forever home and will need some patience as I adjust, but once I trust you, it’s love-filled eyes and happily ever after!
