Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua. Meet little Furball! Furball is a 2 year old silly little guy who has not decided yet whether he likes people enough to be a lap dog, and a lot of that has to do with how he was being raised before being surrendered to our rescue! Our staff was contacted by someone other than the owner that a hoarding situation was happening with at least 15 small breed dogs in 1 house and several other larger ones outside tied to trees, so we stepped in to take as many as we could! Furball was one of the ones we rescued! He is house trained and loves his crate! He will just need his new owners to be patient and understanding with him as he has not had the easiest life! If you are interested in being Furball's understanding best friend, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application.

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.
