Little is an adorable, teeny-tiny 4 lb., 15-year-old Chihuahua with the sweetest little soul. Don’t let his age fool you, this senior gentleman still has a spark of puppy energy when he’s getting to know a new home! He isn’t shy, just a little curious at first, and with a day or two to settle in, he bonds quickly and becomes the ultimate cuddle companion. This little love adores belly rubs, cozy blankets, and snuggling up right next to his person for naps. He enjoys leisurely walks (especially because he’s not always consistent with his potty habits), prefers soft food, and gets along very well with other dogs. Little absolutely loves attention, but he’s also wonderfully independent. If you’re busy, he’s perfectly content to tuck himself under his favorite blanket and snooze until you’re free again. He can stay home alone during the day without any issues. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with a tiny body and a huge heart, Little might just be your perfect match. He is microchipped and up to date on all his vaccines. His adoption fee is $200. 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! All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.

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.
