My story

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

Mojo came to us as part of a backyard breeding mill/hoarder bust in Florida, where almost 150 dogs were living in complete filth. Thankfully, he and his three Chihuahua buddies are now in our care and are ready for their forever homes!

Mojo is a timid, playful, goofy little guy who loves playing, running, and hanging out. He has medium energy, and would do best in a quiet home with other dogs who can show him how to live the good life in a safe and loving environment.

While shy at first, he quickly warms up and loves to keep you laughing. He'll dart around to play just to hear you giggle. He loves with his whole heart, and is so ready to be a forever companion in the right home.

If you want a buddy to shower you with attention and match your energy, apply to adopt Mojo today!

Must go to a home with a resident dog(s) or 2 of the Chihuahuas adopted together.
