My story

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

Double Dribble is a distinguished black and tan chihuahua who is adjusting well to life at Muttville – if you keep him plied with snacks, laps, and scratches, he’s as easy as pie. Well, Double Dribble is an easygoing gent most of the time, he’s very mellow and believes in going with the flow. He’s got the best kind of ears, where one is cocked a bit higher than the other, giving him a perpetually quizzical expression. Really, he’s in a constant state of trying to determine if he’s dribbled once or twice – he often can’t remember, hence the name. While not always confident about the number of dribbles, this cute chi is positive he’d be a great addition to your family. Come meet him today!

Here's some notes from his foster:

Double Dribble has a voracious appetite, he licks the bowl 100% clean. You won't have to worry about getting him to eat, it surely is his favorite activity! He becomes super attentive anytime I eat - makes the “cute face” to try to get some!

Generally he's not too active. He mostly just likes to be in the presence of and hang out around people. Dribble likes to take frequent short naps! (thus far, wants to nap in the same room as people, or will wake up and walk over to get your attention) and generally wants to remain in the same room as me at all times. He also does not whine or complain when separated from his humans. He will just settle in for a nap when left alone.

Double Dribble enjoys outdoor walks, and can walk multiple blocks (though a stroller is preferred). He is super active and super social - if he can catch the scent of other dogs, he zooms around. Otherwise, he will go for a slow, leisurely stroll.
He seems calm around people/dogs/birds, though has not extensive contact thus far. He does not bark or make noise. He struggles with multiple steps - can navigate 4-5 (including at Muttville HQ). Anything beyond that, and I prefer to carry him.

Dribble is Potty-trained! Will use the restroom outside. He rides calmly in the car while inside carrier. Would probably function best in a car with a human next to him giving him comfort. Once relaxed, he will even curl up and sleep.
