Chihuahua mix with the charm of a movie star, the speed of a race car, and a smile that… well, let’s just say his adorable underbite makes him look like he’s constantly plotting something mildly mischievous. (Spoiler: it’s usually how to get more snacks or cuddles.) Don’t let his size fool you—Sheldon is fast. Like, “blink and he’s already across the yard with your sock” fast. But once he’s done zooming around, he’s ready to settle in for the important things in life: snuggles, belly rubs, and nap time in your lap. Sheldon is sweet, cuddly, and full of playful energy. He’s also amazing with kids and other dogs, making him the perfect little companion for families looking to add a small but mighty member to the crew. While he’s confident at home, Sheldon can be a little fearful at first, especially in new environments. But give him a little time, and he warms up beautifully—he’s even come to love car rides, which now rank just below snacks and cuddles on his list of favorite things. Like many young pups, he’s still mastering the fine art of potty training, so patience and positive reinforcement will go a long way. He’s also working on his leash training, so continued gentle guidance will help him build confidence and good habits on walks. Sheldon is super smart and food motivated, so teaching him new tricks and routines will be a fun adventure for both of you. He does have a bit of separation anxiety, so he’s looking for a home where he won’t be left alone for long stretches. He thrives with gentle, loving parenting—someone who understands that big feelings can come in small packages. In return, Sheldon will give you unwavering loyalty, lots of laughs, and that signature underbite grin that’ll melt your heart on even the worst days. Ready to meet the little guy who runs fast, loves hard, and licks you to death? Sheldon’s waiting for you—with a wagging tail and a slightly crooked toothy grin. . He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations for his age. His adoption fee is $350. A refundable training deposit of $100 will be also due upon adoption. Training must be provided in a timely fashion to ensure our pups become the best canine citizens. The training deposit will be refundable within 3 months of the adoption date. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption. Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs, vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to .secondchancedogrescue and complete an application today!
