My story

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

Hi, I’m Cappy — a pocket-sized Chihuahua with strong opinions, excellent manners, and a growing interest in human companionship (on my terms, obviously).

I’m still getting used to sharing my space with dogs my own size, so I’d do best as your one-and-only or with larger canine roommates who respect my personal bubble. I’m fully house trained, use a dog door like a champ, eat politely without stealing anyone’s food, take treats gently, sleep through the night, and have finally chosen my bed (you’re welcome).

I am not a lap dog, but I will lay beside you on the couch and have recently started stopping by to sit at my foster moms’ feet, which is a big deal for me. I come when called and love sunbathing like it’s my job. What can I say? I’m a sweet, slightly sassy little guy who shows affection on my own very charming terms.

I am in foster care, please email acsoutreach@bernco.gov to meet me!
