Story
What a super sweet chihuahua mix this guy is. Just look at those dark eyes, black nose, and those amazing ears. Friskie is nine years old and weighs around 14 pounds. He has a short black and white coat. He and his bestie were surrendered by their owner. Chihuahuas are known as “tiny dogs with giant personalities.” They are loyal and loving, wanting nothing more than to be with you. They love people attention. They are often smart, quick to learn, and to process information. Quirky at times but also quite playful, they like to be active. They are often bold and confident. And they are known for their longevity: The average lifespan is 14-16 years.Friskie does well with other dogs and children, but it is not known if he has ever met a cat. He loves people and considers himself a cuddle dog as he prefers to be held in lieu of walking on a leash. He loves attention and behind the ear scratches. Little is known about Friskie and his past so his life before rescue will remain his secret. With the changes in his life, he maintains a confident personality and his house, crate and leash training are in progress. He will also benefit from daily exercise and lots of attention.Daily exercise will support leash skills as well as socialization skills. It will be a new world to him with all the new sights, smells, sounds, and people along his walk. He will also benefit from mental stimulation in the form of activities and play toys. It will prevent boredom. A secure back yard (so he cannot dig his way out) would give him free time to play and run.Open up a world of possibilities for this little guy and bring him into your life and shower him with lots of love and affection. Friskie will pay it back ten-fold.The adoption fee for Friskie is $300. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
