My story

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

Gnocchi is a dreamy darling little lanky legged chihuahua boy with a unique cream and silvery coat. Feisty during play but calm and gentle otherwise.. Gnocchi is a really FUN little guy!

Like many other chihuahuas we've rescued, Gnocchi doesn't immediately trust every person he meets.. it may take a few minutes for him to get an understanding of the humans intentions. He doesn't appreciate when someone "comes at him" quickly.. that startles him, rightfully so! His true self is cuddly and loving.. he wants people around him to understand his communication and we make sure to do that very thing each and every time we handle him! We allow him to come into our space as he chooses and we don't force anything onto him that might make him uncomfortable.

Gnocchi builds trust with people through play and relaxed snuggle sessions.. it doesn't take long for him to fully trust someone either! Even for a little guy, he really enjoys the outdoors! Gnocchi does well with other dogs who respect his space. We tend to match him with dogs that are close to him in size. Oreo, Snoop and the two chihuahua girls are his buddies right now!

Because of his sensative nature, we would like Gnocchi to go to a home with children aged 14 and up.
