Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Hemingway
Nickname: Hemmy
Breed: Chihuahua

Fun fact: He likes to sit on your shoulder like a parrot. He’s looking to help you live out your pirate dreams, ahoy me matey!
Foster home: Madison, WI
Activity level: Moderate
Friendly with: Dogs, preferably of similar size (not cat tested). Small children/fast movements scare him, so a home without children is best for Hemingway.

Shedding meter: 1/10
Best feature: His gorgeous coloring
Signature color: Teal blue, makes his chocolate brown fur “pop”
Walk out song: Paparazzi - Lady Gaga
Favorite season: Summer, loves fun in the sun and the heat. Classic chi!
Personality: Snuggly, curious, protective, Velcro pup
Loves: To be near his people, snacks, exploring the yard, sunbathing
Bucket list: Writing the next great American novel

Hemingway is a sweet little guy with big dog energy. He does not like quick movements or being grabbed at (will nip) and tends to “guard” his person. Because of this, he would do best in a home without kids. When he feels safe, he’s a cuddle bug! Hemingway is ready for his forever home, could you be the right home for him?
