My story

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

Staying true to his name, Loverboy is an 8-month-old male Chihuahua mix who has mastered the art of loving big in a tiny body. The perfect pocket-sized companion, this little guy packs a whole lot of heart into every cuddle, tail wag, and toy chase.

Loverboy adores people and enjoys the company of other dogs—especially those his size. Larger dogs can make him a bit nervous at first, so slow introductions help him feel safe and confident. Once he knows you’re a friend (and let’s be honest… food helps 💕), he’ll warm up quickly and may even crawl right into your lap to seal the deal.

This sweetheart loves to play, particularly when toys are involved—bonus points if they’re destined for a good de-stuffing! He plays well with dogs he’s familiar with and coexists nicely with other dogs, cats, and kids. Overall, Loverboy is just that: an all-around sweetheart who wants nothing more than to be close to those he loves.

Because food is precious to him right now, Loverboy can be protective of his meals. Feeding him separately from other pets easily solves this and keeps everyone happy. Potty training and crate training are still works in progress, but he’s learning and improving every day with consistency and patience.

Loverboy would thrive in any home ready to open their heart to the gentlest, loviest little companion. If you’re searching for a dog who will love you with his whole tiny soul, Loverboy is ready to be your forever Valentine.

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit organization out of Monticello, IA specializing in the care for dogs and cats that need us. Our care does not stay local, as we take transports from all over the United States, and adopt all over as well!

Our mission's primary focus is to help reduce the homeless pet population by finding homes for spayed/neutered pets, and helping educate WHY this process is so important, and the proper way to care for pets!
