Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). This adorable little man is Cooper! He is currently in foster-care with the woman that saved him from being eaten alive by fleas. He barely had any blood in his system when she got to him. He is a survivor! Here is what she has to say about him: Cooper is a happy, funny, and affectionate dog who loves to sit on your lap and follow you around. He also knows a few commands, including "no" and "no bark." Please note a few important details about his care: 1. House Training: He is not fully potty trained and sometimes uses puppy pads, but he is making progress. He will go potty outside if let out frequently, but someone needs to go outside with him. 2. Backward Sneeze: He experiences backward sneezing, which is common for small dogs. 3. Other Animals & Food: He gets along well with other dogs and cats, but he can be possessive of his food. To prevent issues, we crate him during feeding times. 4. Children: He has not been around children and, due to his small size, would not do well with younger children. I had the honor of meeting Cooper the other day and he froze stiff from fear when he was handed to me. He will be timid at first because of his history, but once he knows he is safe with you, he will be in your lap and follow you everywhere! He does not like to be without his human. If you have any questions or would like to meet little Cooper, please go to .schspets and complete an adoption application. We will contact you after that! You can also call the shelter at 870-269-5200.

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.
