My story

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

Mozart is a dashing tri-color chihuahua with a distinctive look – on first glance, he has a brown ear, a pink ear, and a white face, so you’ll know he stands apart. Well, that’s if he stands still long enough for you to see his adorable face, because Mozart has been hopping around (maybe Tigger would have been a more appropriate name?) since he crossed our threshold. Mozart is clearly a happy boy with tons of enthusiasm for exploring the big wide world outside, and he’s looking for the perfect companion to share all of his adventures with. Are you looking for a peppy little sidekick to add some zest to your life? Maybe you could make some music with Mozart!

Here's some notes from his foster:

I have been watching this sweetie's personality unfold day by day. Mozart is a people lover. He is an incredibly social pup when it comes to humans. He wants to meet everybody and spreads laughs and joy everywhere he goes. He would do well with a family with older children. He can easily soak up the love and attention of many people.

He seems fine on his own at home for about 3 hours. He will want to share a bed at night and the couch all the time. He is making progress with the dogs he sees everyday and is learning to share treats. He has displayed no issues with other dogs on our frequent walks and gives friendly sniffs.

In general, he is a very energetic, wiggly, adorable boy. He seems to be a dog who is going to bond quickly to his human. He is a quintessential lap dog. He wants a lot of attention and physical closeness. He is a sweet, incredibly affectionate boy.

He is great on leash. He loves to be outside. When he knows we are going out he can barely contain his enthusiasm. He twirls and jumps for joy, He is okay being carried in a bag or sling so you can take him anywhere. He does great on car rides and loves running errands around town.

He is a very peppy guy. He has no problem with stairs. He uses a ramp to get up on the couch or the bed. He has a very robust appetite for such a tiny dog. He loves treats.
I think Mozart would be the perfect companion for someone who wants to have a fun, portable sidekick that can be on the go with them and a lap warmer when they are working at home.
