My story

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

CALLING ALL CHIHUAHUA LOVERS!!! Go no further, I’m your guy. Hi everybody, my name is Huey and I’m a 9 lb. Chihuahua mix that’s about 1 year old. I’m an overall happy go lucky guy who is just as sweet as can be.

I have been doing pretty good with my house training but am still a puppy with a small bladder So making sure I get put outside to go potty regularly will make you and I both happy campers. A fenced in yard that is small dog proofed is preferred but not required. When home alone I currently hang out in my crate, as I’m still a little too young to be left out on my own. I may cry a little at first but after a while
I will settle down and take a nap. Because of this, an apartment may not be the best arrangement for me. Ideally, I’d love to end up in a home where someone is home with me quite a bit. At night, I love to be able to cuddle up with my human in bed. Like a little human, I like to get under the covers and I’m out like a light.
Speaking of being with humans, I don’t really understand the whole personal space concept. I want to be as close to you as possible. When it comes to my walk, you may think I’ve been tipping the bottle. I have a little pep in my step, and sometimes end up walking a little crooked. I am very smart, and I am picking things up pretty quickly in my foster home. One thing I’ve learned is to sit for my food. I also come pretty well when called.

As I mentioned earlier, I am young and still have a few puppy tendencies. So far I think I’ve stayed out of trouble for the most part, but I do like my little tennis balls and my bones. You may want to make sure I have plenty of those, or I may end up chewing something I’m not supposed to. It wouldn’t be on purpose, I just don’t know any better. I’m also pretty good at entertaining myself with my toys.
I’d be best in a house with no small children as I can get a little nippy. Slow introductions to new folks coming into the home are probably best as well, as I do like to protect my home.

Overall I’m a typical Chihuahua with a lot of personality and sweetness. I’d love for you to meet me and make me a part of your family forever.

I have been vet checked, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, am up to date on routine shots including rabies and have been treated with flea & heartworm preventatives.
