Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Meet Peso! This adorable little guy came to us after being surrendered at a rural shelter in Texas. Weighing just 6 pounds, he’s a tiny bundle of joy who’s had a rough start but is now thriving in a loving foster home. Peso is ready to find his forever family that will shower him with love and attention. He absolutely loves snuggling up in a cozy blanket on the couch while his foster dad works nearby. Although he has some vision impairment, Peso navigates just fine and would thrive best in a home with a secure fence and minimal obstacles, such as pools or holes in the ground. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people and may avoid eye contact, but he’s got a heart full of love to give. Just offer him a warm spot to cuddle up in, and you'll quickly become his best friend. Do you have a cozy nook filled with blankets for snuggle time? If you're ready to welcome Peso into your home, apply to meet him today and be sure to mention his name, PESO TX!

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.
