Why You’ll Love Cinnamon:

  • Deeply devoted and bonds intensely with her person

  • Loves laps, being held, and constant companionship

  • Confidently struts outside to potty like part of the pack

  • Low energy and ideal for apartment or retired living

  • Small, quiet companion in her home environment

About Cinnamon’s Breed:
Chihuahuas are known for their fierce loyalty and strong bonds with “their person.” They are intelligent, expressive, and often protective of the ones they love most. Cinnamon embodies the classic Chihuahua personality — tiny in size, enormous in devotion, and happiest when close to her chosen human.

Cinnamon’s Story & Personality:
Cinnamon is the definition of loyal. Like a typical Chi, she will choose her person and follow them everywhere like a tiny shadow. She must be in the same room as her human and won’t truly relax until she is. She adores laying in her person’s lap and being held, though she does have independent moments where simply sharing space is enough.

She is fairly quiet and content when home with her person, but she is protective and can become very verbal if she perceives a threat — especially when someone enters the home or when she is taken out of her environment. Because of her intense loyalty, she can be vocal in new places or around unfamiliar people. Her foster has been working on calming techniques and is incredibly proud of the progress she’s made.

Cinnamon prefers to potty outside and proudly marches out with the pack to do her business, taking her job very seriously. She does not want to be carried and enjoys confidently walking the area. She mostly uses potty pads indoors if needed. She thrives on routine and can be fearful of sudden movements or change, so her adopter must take extra precautions with leash security and transitions outside the home.

Cinnamon’s Ideal Home:

  • Adult-only household

  • Quiet, calm environment

  • Someone home most of the time

  • Retired individual or apartment living is ideal

  • An adopter who understands Chihuahua loyalty and protective tendencies

  • Someone committed to secure leash handling and consistent routine

Ready to Welcome a Tiny, Fiercely Loyal Companion?
Cinnamon is looking for her person — the one she can adore, follow, and love with her whole tiny heart. If you’re seeking a deeply devoted, low-energy companion who thrives on closeness and routine, Cinnamon may be your perfect match.
