Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello good people of the Northeast, I’m a little male Chihuahua, 7 years old, 5.3 lbs and I was dumped near a San Antonio water treatment plant. I wasn't in the best shape at the time, missing some fur and desperate for a dental cleaning, 4 Little Paws Rescue took me in and my foster mom helped with my veterinary visits. Three months later I am ready for adoption, all fixed up, healthy, and handsome, missing some teeth but the ones left over are nice and clean, LOL!
I am a sweet and friendly little man with a go-with-the-flow attitude and a couch potato energy level. I get along great with everyone, men, women, strangers, and other dogs, but not sure if I've met a kitty cat. My favorite sport is being with you and sitting beside you, but not into playing or kissing. I show my affection by wanting to be near you and sometimes gazing at you lovingly. I am calm and quiet, super low maintenance, and small enough to take with you everywhere. I am housebroken and well-behaved, and at night I sleep in my little dog bed located on my foster mom's bed. I don't fuss in a crate and I don't really fuss about anything at all. I hear many wonderful families on the East Coast would be happy to have a sweet little dog like me, so I can't wait to meet them and get my future started!
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.
