My story

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

FOR ADOPTION IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY ONLY
Rincon, a very special little boy, is a 5 to 6 year old, 8 lb Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. He has very good potty manners and doesn’t mark like a lot of males. He loves to snuggle with his owner all night long and never has an accident. He is very affectionate and loves to be on your lap as much as possible.

Unfortunately for this little boy, he came to our rescue with some issues. It seems that he may have been abused at some point in time. He gets very frightened if you step to close to him, like he is expecting to be trampled on or kicked. He also has a little fear of new people and does take a little while before he decides he is not going to be hurt. Once he feels comfortable with you, he really is a very sweet and loving little boy.

Rincon spent time living with a couple of families with small children and the outcome was not very pleasant, so he would not be well suited for that environment. Rincon would best suited with a family of older adults.

If you think you and Rincon would be a great match, please complete an application found at http://rescueachi.com/adoption-application/
