Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Gentle Senior Boy! Meet Gucci! Gucci was discovered on the streets by a kind foster family who brought him to SVPP for the medical care and second chance he deserved. Since then, this tiny gentleman has received a full wellness makeover — including a dental cleaning with extractions, neuter, and cherry-eye repair in both eyes — and now he’s feeling better than ever. Gucci is a sweet, affectionate little guy who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. He gets along beautifully with his canine foster sibling and has proven himself to be an all-around delight. Whether he’s riding quietly in the car, showing off his confident leash skills (he’s a dedicated marker!), or snuggling up as close to the fireplace as he can get, Gucci brings charm and warmth wherever he goes. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share life’s adventures, Gucci is ready to be your devoted sidekick. He can’t wait to find the loving home he’s been dreaming of.

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.
