If you’ve ever dreamed of having a tiny, affectionate, and slightly spicy best friend, Taquito is the pup for you! At just 6 months old and a petite 6 pounds (with an expected adult weight of around 10 pounds), this little lady is the perfect size for snuggles, lap time, and tagging along wherever you go. Just like her namesake, Taquito is a little roll of goodness—warm, comforting, and impossible to resist. When Taquito first arrived in her foster home, she was a bit shy, like a perfectly wrapped taco waiting to be unrolled. But it didn’t take long for her to come out of her shell! Now, she’s a playful, curious, and affectionate pup who follows her people from room to room like a loyal side of guacamole. She loves cuddling on the couch while her foster parents work, and if she’s not in someone’s lap, you’ll probably find her collecting all her toys in one spot—because every Taquito needs the perfect toppings! She adores playing with the resident Chihuahua, and although she respects his space, she secretly wishes he’d let her cuddle up for nap time. A Day in the Life of Taquito 6:30 AM – The day begins! Taquito wakes up in her crate and heads to her playpen for a potty break.After Potty – Morning zoomies, snuggles, or lounging on the couch while her foster parents work.9:00 AM – Breakfast time! A tiny meal for a tiny pup. Afterward, she hangs out and plays.12:00 PM – Midday potty break and quiet time in the playpen.Afternoon – More playtime and exploring! She enjoys collecting toys, snuggling, and shadowing her humans.5:00 PM – Dinner is served! After eating, Taquito loves to curl up on the couch for a TV session.7:30 PM – Back to the playpen for some downtime and a final potty break.9:00 PM – Bedtime! Taquito settles into her crate next to her foster parents' bed, sometimes whining for a minute but quickly calming down for the night. Like any young pup, Taquito is still mastering the fine art of being a grown-up dog. She’s getting the hang of potty pads (though sometimes she decorates the floor with them instead), and she’s learning that shoes are not chew toys—no matter how fun they may seem. Puppies like Taquito thrive on routine, patience, and positive training, so her new family should be ready for a few adorable antics along the way. Expect some zoomies, some very dramatic sighs when she doesn’t get her way, and the occasional discovery that your sock collection has mysteriously relocated. Taquito is still figuring out how to be alone like a confident, independent taco, but she’s making progress! Having another dog around would be like adding the perfect queso dip to her life—comforting, fun, and totally her vibe. If you're looking for a little spice, a lot of love, and a pup who will keep you entertained with her tiny, sassy ways, Taquito is ready to roll into your heart and home!February 17, 2025, 11:38 pm
