My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chico is a tiny, tiny boy weighs only 4.5 lbs. He is 8-9 yrs old. His last owner who was very ill for many years passed away. Chico was rescued because his owner not only passed away, but she let homeless people live in her home. Once the woman passed Chico went out onto the streets with a homeless woman who could barely take care of herself and the four dogs she took with her. I was notified of sweet Chico needing rescue and it took me a week to find the woman's camp.
Chico lived with multiple dogs and cats. He is happiest next to me under a blanket on the couch. He likes to sleep on the bed under the covers. I'm sure since he is so small and short hair he is warmest under a blanket. I'm trying to put weight on him. His previous owner was I'm and not the best owner. I believe he was extremely neglected, hungry a lot. He is very sweet and would make a good couch buddy for a human. He does like to be picked up and carried around. I beloved he's had a rough life and deserves a warm, cozy couch with a human to snuggle with.
