Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Adoption Fee: $300.00. Meet Ignacio, aka “Nacho” — the little dog with the biggest heart you’ll ever meet. At just 2 years old and 10 pounds, Nacho has already lived through more than most dogs will in a lifetime. An old injury left him partially paralyzed in his hind legs and with a tiny bullet in his spine—but you would never know it from the way he runs, plays, and loves. Nacho isn’t just surviving—he’s thriving. He zips around the house with the joy of a puppy, hops on the couch for kisses, and dives into games of fetch or tug-of-war like it’s his mission in life . He gets along with dogs of all sizes, and has a playful, silly personality that will keep you smiling every day. He has the cutest grin when he's snuggled up to a person, happy that that he's got his way. His life goals are the following: to have his own person that he can keep warm with his hot potato body, and to have someone throw a ball or play tug. Nacho has an unshakable spirit and believes that every day is a good day when you’re with your family. Nacho is also crate trained, house trained (dog-door savvy) and—most importantly—ready to give his whole heart to someone who can look past what he’s been through and see the incredible dog he is today. He wears a belly band to help with his aim, which can be a cute little fashion accessory, or just be ready with some baby wipes or water if he's nakey. If you choose Nacho, you’re not just adopting a dog—you’re gaining a joyful, loyal companion who will show you the meaning of resilience and unconditional love. Are you interested in meeting Nacho?

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.
