Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Zigby was found with a broken pelvis, likely from being hit by a car. He was then taken to the shelter and placed on the euthanasia list after serving the stray hold. We had a willing foster and were able to save Zigby just in the nick of time! After a hefty surgery, long recovery process, and some TLC, Zigby is now able to walk and use the restroom with no pain at all. He is currently taking joint supplements as a precautionary measure to help with any arthritis in the future. Zigby is fully vaccinated and fixed. He has mastered potty training and is crate trained. He does well with cats and prefers female dogs as companions. He's a cuddler and loves to snuggle in bed! Zigby is a goofball, he'll spin around and do the "food dance" when it's feeding time. Zigby has shown so much resilience and despite the pain he's experienced in his short life, he still has so much love to give!

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.
