Description
Posted Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Adoption Fee: 200. Meet Justin!!! He is looking for his fur-ever hero to adopt him. We think he is about 10-12 years old and would need a home that understands his needs. He's a very shy senior who has probably had a tough life prior to arriving at the shelter. He was skipped over by many rescues and adopter due to his shy and defensive behavior. Justin is more of a ladies man we think and would prefer a no kid, female only home. He does not like to be picked up or put on leash so he can be a challenge. He does like to sit on his blankets and enjoy some sunshine near the window. Justin requires a diet that includes some lunch meat mixed into his kibble.. yep turkey needs to be included if you want him to tolerate kibble.. hot dogs work too. I am assuming his life as a stray or unkept chi chi meant he was thrown scraps and developed a taste for the people food. We know we are looking for a unicorn of an adopter but felt this kid deserves a chance off the streets/shelter to have a real home.. He is located in Cave Creek, AZ for meet & greets. He is using potty pads and an x-pen but will go in a kennel if needed for traveling in and out of an enclosed dog run. Again.. he will not tolerate leash walking so you will need a place contained to make potty breaks better for all involved. Adoption Fee is $200. He has been vet checked, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Overview:
The Chihuahua, a captivating breed known for its diminutive size, boasts an ancient and somewhat mysterious origin, with most theories pointing to Mexico as its birthplace, potentially descending from the "Techichi," a small companion dog of the Toltec civilization. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their small, compact bodies, large expressive eyes, and erect ears, appearing in both smooth and long-coated varieties, showcasing a vast array of colors and markings. Despite their tiny stature, Chihuahuas possess a big personality; they are often described as spirited, alert, and fiercely loyal to their owners, sometimes displaying a bold and confident demeanor. While their small size makes them exceptionally well-suited for apartment living, they thrive in homes where they receive ample attention and mental stimulation. They can be good family pets for older children who understand how to interact gently with a small dog, but their delicate build makes them less suitable for boisterous toddlers. Regarding health, Chihuahuas can be prone to certain conditions like patellar luxation, heart problems, and dental issues, making regular veterinary check-ups crucial for their well-being.
