Story
Hi, I’m Trident! My fosters say I’m the quietest Chihuahua they’ve ever had! I’m endless entertainment, let me tell you about some of the stuff I love- TOYS and FOOD! Yes, especially squeaky toys, but I love to take them all out of the basket and put them by the front door. I will play for hours throwing them around and chasing them for myself. I also love food, and luckily, WALKS, too! I’ve been working on my waistline with daily walks so hopefully you can help me keep that up. We just step off into the grass for some space and go at our own pace as bikes, strollers, balls and dogs all go racing past me. I use the bed stairs and snuggle at my fosters feet all night long, the only time bark usually is if someone new comes in the room while I’m sleeping. I like my teens and their friends and all the dogs that have been in my foster home. My foster has always done slow intro with them and I feel more secure that way. Ive played with puppies as little as 5-10 pounds and am gentle with the old gal and give her kisses, she won’t play and I accept that. If you have been looking for a big love bug that doesn’t know his size, is still learning about the world, loves his home and his people deeply, check me out! My fosters adore me, you can ask them! PS I give the sweetest kisses. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older). They are also up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Each adoption includes a 3.5-pound bag of dog or puppy food and a free vet exam at one of our participating veterinary partners.
