TOTO #4 - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Toto #4 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Toto #4 | 1-Year-Old Chihuahua Mix | Tiny Shadow and Professional Snuggler Toto is a 1-year-old, 14-pound Chihuahua mix with a white and brown coat and a sweet, sensitive personality. He’s a playful little guy who quickly bonds with his people and loves being close—whether that means curling up next to you on the couch, resting his head on you for extra pets, or following you from room to room like your own tiny shadow. Toto also has a fun, goofy side and will happily entertain himself (and you) with squeaky toys, little tennis balls, and the occasional happy dance. Toto is still working on a few basics as he settles into foster life. He’s making progress with house training but still has some learning to do, and he hasn’t quite figured out how to signal when he needs to go outside yet. Leashes are currently a bit scary for him, so walks aren’t his favorite thing right now. At home, Toto has done well being left alone for several hours with other dogs in the house and has been a very good boy overall. He isn’t currently being crate trained and has been trustworthy when left uncrated. He’s been friendly with the resident dogs in his foster home and enjoys playing with them, though there have been a few minor disagreements around toys or food, so continued guidance around sharing and boundaries will help him keep improving. Toto has a medium energy level—he enjoys playtime, toys, and short bursts of activity, but he’s equally happy settling down for cuddle time once he’s had a little fun. He responds well to food, toys, and affection as motivation and is slowly gaining confidence as he adjusts to his new routine. Because leashes are still a little scary for him, Toto would do best in a home with a secure yard where he can comfortably go outside while he continues building confidence. Toto can also be a bit shy and sensitive, so a patient home that will give him time to adjust while working on house training and leash comfort would be ideal. A calm, friendly dog companion could be a great influence, and a quieter household may help him feel more secure as he continues to come out of his shell. With a little time and understanding, Toto’s affectionate nature truly shines—he’s an incredibly sweet, cuddly little dog who loves being close to his person and will happily shower them with love and loyalty.
