Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Milo is with our rescue partner in Louisiana and can come to NJ if we find a foster or adopter. Milo came from a large hoarding situation with more than fifty dogs, and he is still learning that people can be safe and kind. It takes him a little time to warm up to new faces, but once he trusts you, he becomes your loyal shadow. He loves curling up in your bed, sleeping by your side, and quietly following you from room to room. Milo enjoys playing with other dogs and does well in a home with canine companions. He also ignores the cats, treating them like interesting little aliens he prefers to observe rather than bother. He has an enormous amount of love to give to a patient family who will give him the time and understanding he needs to feel secure. Once he bonds with you, he sticks by you with his whole heart. If you are looking for a gentle, devoted companion, Milo may be the perfect fit. Milo is up to date on vaccines and is fixed. His adoption fee is $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to wag-on-inn .

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.
