chico

Chico, also lovingly called “Chico the Rabbit,” is an 8-month-old Chihuahua who loves bouncing up and down for attention and to be cradled. He ended up in our care through absolutely no fault of his own. His previous family adopted him without landlord approval, and unfortunately, sweet Chico was the one who lost his home. Thankfully, he’s now safe and exactly where he needs to be.

Chico is scheduled for his neuter this week, and we’ll be sharing updates as we continue to learn more about his adorable personality. He can be a little nervous at first—which is completely understandable after everything he’s been through—but he warms up quickly. Once he trusts you, he is incredibly sweet and simply wants to be loved.

Chico gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats and currently shares his foster home with a 60-pound canine sibling. He is full of joy and excitement—once he sees you take out his leash and harness, he can’t contain his happiness! He loves car rides, sits calmly on your lap, and is crate trained—making him easy to integrate into a new home.

Chico would do best in a home with adults only or with a family already familiar with the Chihuahua breed. He is looking for a foster-to-adopt home or a committed adopter who can provide the stability, patience, and understanding he deserves. He needs a kind forever family who will never give up on him again.
