My story

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

Meet Skinny, a 4-year-old Chihuahua with a heart as big as his tiny 2.2-kilo frame. Rescued from a heartbreaking situation in Mexico, Skinny was abandoned at a vet clinic after being dropped off for a bath, never to be picked up again. He spent months waiting in a cage, but despite his tough start, Skinny has blossomed into an incredibly sweet and affectionate little guy.

Skinny is a low to medium energy pup who loves nothing more than being close to his humans. He thrives on cuddles and will happily snuggle up and fall asleep in your arms. This little guy is also great with other dogs and knows how to walk on a leash, making him the perfect companion for a family or individual looking for a loving and loyal friend.

Skinny is ready to leave his past behind and find a forever home where he can continue to share his sweetness and love. Will you be the one to give Skinny the life he truly deserves?
