Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua. All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant. NOTE - MARVIN IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ASKING TO REHOME THEIR PET. PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. From his caretaker: "Marvin is very sweet, but skiddish at first. He barks when excited or when someone is at the door. He is a great lap dog and if you give him belly rubs, he'll be your best friend. Marvin loves going on walks and hikes. Marvin would thrive in a home without small children/toddlers, but is ok wih older children. He is usually okay with other dogs, but may take a while to warm up. He can be a bit territorial with his food, but only to other dogs. He's never bitten me. He had an accident with one of his claws as a young dog and has been very scared of getting his nails trimmed ever since. No medical issues that I know of. Overall, he's a sweet boy that just wants to sit with you and get belly rubs." Marvin is located in New Windsor, MD.

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.
