Description
Posted Breed: Chihuahua (medium coat). Ziggy is a lover boy who would love to have a home with you. He gets along with all of the dogs in my home and plays very well. He is completely crate and potty trained. When you tell him to "Go Home" he puts himself in his crate and telling him to "Go Potty" he will run outside. I have not left him alone in the home while I am running errands because he always puts himself in his crate. He will eat with the other dogs but he likes to eat in his crate. He does not have any food or any other aggression. Ziggy was an owner surrender from someone who had him all of his 3 years. The owners living situation changed and she could keep him any longer. When he first came to me he was very scared and confused which was understanding. I completely left him alone so he could get use to his new environment, the dogs and me. After 2 days he came up to me giving me kisses and he has been my best friend every since. On the day of surgery, he was nervous but he allowed the vet tech to handle him and he was so relieved to see me on pick up time. Once he gets use to you, he is an excellent pet and no maintenance on a daily basis. Ziggy is 3 years old, weighs 8 pounds and a long haired Chihuahua that would need to be groomed about every 3 months. If you are interested in adopting him, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you. Sorry it is hard for me to get a picture of him by himself as he is always playing with one of the other dogs. .roxysk9rescue ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.

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.
