My story

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

Taco is a sweet friendly little guy once he gets to know and trust you. He came from an abusive background and was left tied in a dog park. He is fearful at first when meeting new people. He doesn’t allow anything around his neck and a harness is the only way you can leash him. He is easier for a man to handle. He loves food! Has lived with large and small dogs and cats. His only hurdle that I have yet to get over is his resource guarding. He will sit with a bone toy or unfinished bowl of food and bark and growl while wagging his tail. He responds well to love, affection, and sweet talk. He is very strong willed and will not respond favorably to bullying. Positive reinforcement is the way to go. He will do well as an only pet or with another dog that is easy going but not timid. I wouldn’t recommend small children. He would do well in a loving home with an experienced patient owner. Taco is approximately 5.5 years old, chocolate with caramel coloring, very unusual color for a chihuahua, medium hair. He’s approx 7-9 lbs so fairly small. He is crate trained but will mark with another male.
