Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Adoption Fee: $250.00. Online Adoption Application Meet TJ! TJ is a 3-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 4.3 pounds, but this tiny guy has a heart full of love just waiting for the right person to discover it. TJ gets along well with other dogs, especially those his own size. Larger dogs can be a little intimidating for him, so he'd be happiest in a home with small canine companions or as your one-and-only little shadow. He enjoys playing with other small dogs but also appreciates having his own quiet space. A naturally shy boy, TJ needs a patient adopter who will give him time to build trust and confidence. Once he feels safe, his sweet personality begins to shine. He's crate trained and prefers to sleep in his cozy crate, but don't be surprised when he comes looking for snuggles once you've earned his trust. TJ is currently working on his house training and is making great progress. He's also undergoing treatment for Lyme disease and is doing wonderfully. He is not showing any symptoms and it does not slow him down. We don't know what this tiny little guy experienced before coming into rescue, but we do know his future deserves to be filled with love, kindness, and security. TJ is looking for a special person who will help him continue building confidence and show him what it truly means to be part of a family. TJ is up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and fully vetted, making him ready to find his forever home. If you have room in your heart for a little dog who just needs someone to believe in him, TJ is waiting to meet you.

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.
