CHICO NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Chico Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of August 2025 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 8 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Special adoption considerations: Chico is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter - Chico needs a foster or adopter to make his way to the DC area Chico is Looking For: Meet Chico – a pint-sized gentleman with a big heart! At just 8 lbs, this 5-year-old Chihuahua is the perfect size for cuddles on the couch or tagging along for adventures. Chico’s gorgeous gray, white, and tan coat makes him quite the little showstopper, but it’s his personality that will truly win you over. Chico is a loyal companion who loves being near his people, whether that’s curled up in a cozy blanket or trotting happily by your side. He’s past the puppy chaos stage, but still has plenty of energy for short walks and playtime. With his small size, he’s well-suited for many types of homes – including apartments. If you’re looking for a devoted, loving friend who will brighten every day, Chico might just be your perfect match! What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon!
