Hi friends, my name is Paulie! I’m an 3 year young Chihuahua mix, who weighs all of 8 pounds. I was found as a stray and had to spend a few days at animal services waiting for my “family” to come get me, but they didn’t. It was very noisy and scary but now that I’m with VIP Rescue, I’m slowly learning to enjoy the good life, and it’s definitely a lot quieter here! A VERY quiet low key home is what i’m lookin’ fur. I do enjoy leash walks a couple times a day when it’s not hot out, early morning and evening is best cuz remember, that pavement gets hot real fast! Then I come back to lounge around on any and every dog bed in my foster home! I like to get out in the back yard and enjoy the sun, I do stick close to the human in the home, and I love to sleep in the human bed. There’s this really neat window I enjoy to sit by and watch all the goings on in the neighborhood. I really have not showed interest in toys or playing with the other pups, but hopefully that will come with some time.
I am a laid back, easy going, maybe a wee bit sassy kinda guy, with the dare I say “typical” little man chihuahua syndrome, ya know, I can be a little “fresh” at times. I like it my way and on my time. I cuddle when I want to, and if you go slow to pick me up, we are all good… any sudden moves, I get a little defensive and “snarky”, but give me a few minutes and if you go slow, I’m a happy guy and will accept snuggles and cuddles and back scratches.
My favorite thing is to eat, I need some help with portion control as I could easily get a little overweight in no time, so foster Mom measures my food and I gobble it all up.
I get along great with other small friendly dogs. If you have another little dog that is friendly and well socialized that would be ok, of course we’d have to meet first, or I could also be an only dog, as long as you spend LOTS of time with me, as I do not want to be at home by myself for extended hours. If you work full time outside of the home, I’m not the pup for you. I will definitely need an adult only home, no “littles” please, as I don’t think I would do well with the young 2 legged humans. But, guess what? I am potty trained (yay!) as long as I get out frequently.
I’ve been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, had a recent dental and am current on my heartworm and flea prevention.
