Breed: Chihuahua (Tripod — 3-legged hero!)
Birthday: 10/28/2023 Age: 2 years old
Weight: 8 Pounds
Health: Healthy, vaccinated, and neutered — though he’s thriving, please visit your own vet soon after adoption to continue his great care.
Xing is pure sunshine in a tiny package! Despite being a tripod, he’s full of life, confidence, and heart. He doesn’t let anything slow him down — he hops and scoots with pride, ready for love, treats, and belly rubs. Xing is playful, affectionate, and loves being close to his people. He’s brave, resilient, and endlessly sweet — a little dog with a huge spirit.
Chihuahuas are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and charm. Small but fearless, they bond deeply with their people and make wonderful companions. A tripod Chihuahua like Xing may require some simple adjustments (like safe flooring or gentle handling), but their hearts are every bit as strong — and their love is absolutely boundless.
Provide gentle exercise and supervised playtime — Xing is active and enjoys exploring safely.
Maintain regular vet care and preventive health.
Offer affection, consistency, and understanding — tripods can do everything other dogs can!
Make sure he has cozy resting spots and soft bedding for comfort.
Before bringing Xing home, think about:
Do you have time every day to play, love, and bond with him?
Does your landlord allow pets, and is your home safe for a small dog?
Can you provide lifelong care — food, vet visits, and training?
Is your home stable and ready for a long-term furry family member?
Patience is essential — rescues need time to adjust, especially when learning new routines.
First 3 days: Let her (him) decompress and feel safe. The world is new and full of smells and sounds.
First 3 weeks: She’ll start understanding your routine, your love, and your voice.
First 3 months: She’ll finally exhale — realizing she’s safe, loved, and home forever.
Xing deserves a family who will stand by him through everything — who will celebrate his spirit and love him for the brave, joyful soul he is.
Xing’s courage will inspire you every single day. His joy is contagious, his snuggles are heartwarming, and his zest for life will remind you to embrace every moment. Adopting Xing means opening your heart to a loyal, loving companion who will fill your days with laughter, affection, and pure love.
