My personality

My story

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

Chico is a sweet, scruffy little mystery mix with 12 pounds of pure love to give. At around 6 years old (our best guess), he’s left his stray days behind and is ready to start fresh in a loving forever home. Chico’s specialties? Being a total cuddle monster and a champion face-kisser—he’s full of affection and can’t wait to share it!

This gentle boy can be a little shy at first and needs a few days to get comfortable, but once he knows you, he’s all in. With women, he warms up quickly and becomes the ultimate lovebug. Chico is more cautious with men, but with patience and kindness he’ll warm up in no time, like he experienced with his foster dad after 2 days over Christmas.

Chico is a super lap dog who thrives on love and affection. He’s fantastic with other dogs and would love a canine buddy to show him the ropes. He’s great on walks—even busy sidewalks with lots of people don’t faze him. While he’s still working on housebreaking, he’s making steady progress and is ready to keep learning in a supportive home.

As for his breed? Your guess is as good as ours! Maybe a Poodle or Bichon mix—his hair is growing in curly—but one thing’s for sure: his soulful eyes and soft scruff make him absolutely irresistible.

Chico is looking for a quiet, patient family who will help him feel safe, loved, and confident as he settles into his new life. In return, he’ll shower you with unconditional love, loyalty, and endless cuddles.

Are you ready to make Chico part of your family? This sweet boy is ready to steal your heart! 🐾❤️

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
