My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*Please read through the full bio. Instructions on how to visit are included at the end*
My name is CHICO! I'm a 12-year-old, 15-pound, tan and white Chihuahua. I was adopted from The Ark in 2011. My human passed away, my home was sold, and I moved. I have had a hard time adjusting to losing my family. I am back at The Ark hoping to find a home with the experience and patience to give me a fresh start. I only like my special toy but I love to play! I am wary of strangers and it takes me a while to get used to new people. You may consider volunteering with us so I have a better time trusting you. I really trust the people that take care of me. I have received comprehensive vetting: Veterinary Physical and Dental examinations, Veterinarian administered vaccinations, fecal analysis, de-worming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention. I was neutered while at The Ark in 2011. My adoption fee is $120 to help offset vetting costs. will need an experienced adopter, and no children in my new home. I was housebroken, but with all the confusion in my recent life need some retraining. I get along with most dogs and cats. I do not work well with kids. If you are interested, see you soon!
