alejandro

Hey there, looking for a spicy Chihuahua that wants nothing more than to crawl into his person's soul and live there for eternity? Look no further than Alejandro. He's a 2 year old, 10lbs Chi who picks his person and will worship her/him until his last day (who are we kidding, he's a Chihuahua so he will live until he's 20 just to prove a point and to get the last laugh).

Alejandro is as devoted as the day is long - to one person. He's cordial and superficially friendly to others in the home, as they become his distant second when his primary person is not home - yes, he pouts on his dog bed, then eventually and begrudgingly will come over for some surrogate snuggles. Fearful? Of course, he's a Chihuahua! Housetrained? Nope, he's a Chihuahua (although he sports disposable and washable belly bands like the latest fashion trend - he has quite the collection and is waiting on his Eddie Bauer modeling contract).

If you have a landlord and close neighbors - probably not a great idea. He has proven that he will try to run them down and out of "his" yard. And to answer your question about the Santa photos, yes, he did try to bite Santa Claus - twice.

What does Alejandro like? Food! In every way, shape, and form. Pup Cups from any coffee shop - he is a true connoisseur. Getting dressed up? Yep, he loves being warm AND fashionable. He ADORES being snuggled in blankets and being plastered up against his person like an extra appendage. You will never be cold (or alone) again, and neither will he! Friendly dogs who aren't all up in his face - he wants to play! If dogs get in his face, like one of his big, young, derpy Mastiff mix foster siblings, he has no problem latching onto a gowl to say knock it off jerk. Cats? Nope, unless they enjoy being chased for no good reason other than for existing and breathing. Kids? Only 11 years old and older (especially girls, he's all about charming the young ladies - he's a true gentleman at heart, but shhh, don't tell him that!).

So if anyone out there is looking for a half lil' monster and half super charmer, please contact his talent agent Michelle at michelle.p@poainc.org AND complete an adoption application ASAP at www.poainc.org. Hurry, telephone operators and online volunteers are standing by to make this love connection!
