My story

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

????Now is the time to start working on your TO DO LIST:
1. ADOPT CARLITO
If you get that accomplished you will have a successful day, week, month, year, years. This little 12 pound chihuahua is three years old and ready to be your plus one, no questions asked. We know A LOT about CARLITO because he spent three weeks in foster care. He went to foster care because the loud shelter was a bit scary for him. He quickly gained confidence in his foster home and is BACK AT THE SHELTER FOR TUESDAY ADOPTIONS, 1pm to 4pm. Let’s get him to his forever home. Why CARLITO? Here’s the scoop from foster:
- Carlito loves people and attaches very quickly to his person
-Carlito is fully potty trained in the foster’s home (please give him time to learn new home rules and schedule)
-Carlito does prefer to be the A list star of canine companions, he could share home with a B or C list submissive co-star but his very best fit is a leading, one man role
-Carlito is indifferent about both cats and rabbits, he leaves them alone
-Carlito is great on leash and good in the car and if he’s allowed he’s willing to tag along with his person
-Carlito is good when groomed and bathed…. He has been freshly bathed and ready to meet & greet!!
