Story
Pepe is a spunky and sweet little guy with lots of personality. He came from a shelter in Tijuana and has been a fast learner, and sweet addition to our home. Unfortunately our dog we already had is not accepting the change so Pepe is needing a new home. He is learning quickly to walk on a leash and potty outside. He is good about sleeping in his own bed, and he is not destructive with personal belongings. He is fine being left home alone in his pen with his bed and toys, and he does not make much noise. He is really really quiet for a Chihuahua and overall very well behaved. He loves to cuddle and play, and is content just relaxing on the couch or going for a walk. He is a cool little dude and we wish we could keep him! Pepe comes with leash, harness, pen, bed, food and tiny sweaters.
