SAMMY - CHIHUAHUA (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). #A5725157 Say hello to Sammy , a 6-year-old short-haired Chihuahua and the ultimate pocket-sized cuddle buddy. With his dreamy cream-colored coat dusted with a soft sprinkle of cinnamon, he's perfectly sized for snuggles and ready to melt into your arms. Despite coming to the shelter with puncture wounds (possibly bites) and spending time in medical care, Sammy has remained sweet as sugar - eager to trust, bond, and soak up love. Now that he’s finally available, he’s slowly but surely coming out of his shell, and is so ready to find his forever home. He adores affection (especially back scratches!), takes treats like a true gentleman, and his gentle, easygoing, nature makes him a great choice for first-time dog parents. If you're looking for a soft-hearted companion who just wants to love and be loved, Sammy's your guy! ✨ -6 year old tan shorthaired Chihuahua -16 pound male - has not yet been neutered, so a health and trust waiver will be required -up to date on all shots and preventatives, so ready to go home with you today!
