Story
My name is Carlos, a 1 or 2-year-old male chihuahua. I was found as a stray in small town of Palmyra, IL on July 5. Although my found dog post was seen by over 9,500 people, no one ever claimed me. I felt sad and alone. I was very scared when I first got here, but the staff here has worked with me to help me gain confidence. I still am very timid when I first meet new people...I'll even growl or give you a low grumble. But, when I get to know you, you are locked in my heart for life! Once you are in my circle, I'll jump right in your lap and let you pick me up. I don't mind being carried and I love to be held close. It makes me feel safe and secure. The folks here say I am such a funny boy when I trot around with my head so high. Well, why not? I'm pumped up and proud! I also love my crate and will jump in it on my own when I need to feel safe or have some alone time. My favorite hobby is tossing around a squeaky toy and then give it a big shake! I also love following my humans around..walking from room to room, seldom straying very far. My perfect home will be a quiet one without little kids. A fenced yard would be great. If not, I will need to be on a leash to go potty and on walks--I don't want to get lost and end up here again. And, since I like my crate, it would be nice if I had one at your house too! I'm not keen on other dogs or cats--at least here, I growl at them. But maybe it would be okay if your pets ignored me. Anyway...If you are looking for a young, cute, little companion like me, let's do a meet and greet!
