Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Sidney a young and very handsome boy. He is an approx. 3yo, 8lb. long-hair chihuahua mix with shiny brown and black fur. When he first meets you, he is very shy and scared, running away and hiding for safety. But after some time, patience, and understanding he now feels safe with his foster mom and fur siblings, where he realizes love, warmth and contentment. He is now even doing zoomies! He gets along so well and loves each of his foster siblings, all small dogs like him, and they play, wrestle and chase each other in the yard. Cuddling is his favorite past time. Although it took some time, he has learned how to trust, and his personality is really coming out. His house training is a work in progress, so his person must be home to let him out at least every two hours, and yet sometimes he will still go potty in the house. He hasn't learned to walk on leash yet, and is terrified of it, so for that reason he does need a fenced yard. He is not a big barker and rides well in a car. He is not a big player with toys, but does enjoy chew bones. He loves to sleep cuddled up right next to his foster mom where it’s warm and cozy. He insists on getting lots of kisses before going to bed, then he sleeps quietly all through the night. Sidney needs to be in a home with another dog that is confident and will cuddle with him and make him feel safe. Sidney will need someone who can give him time and patience, and not pressure him until he is ready (you must fight the urge to pick him up and cuddle his adorableness until he’s comfortable and ok with it). Once he has that time to settle in and feel as if he can trust you, he will be your best friend, and you will find out what a good boy he is. Due to his skittish-at-first nature, we are preferring an all adult home for him. He is a barker so apartment or condo living may not be best for him. His adopter must realize that Sidney has some serious fear issues, is very fearful of anyone who comes in the home, he will run and hide and bark the entire time the visitor is there.
