Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Albuquerque, New Mexico

I NEED TO BE ADOPTED WITH DEXTER. I am again looking for my new family. I am a senior and just want a soft, gentle, and calm place for me and Dexter. I was surrender by my first family in 2017. I was then adopted by a family that ran a child care facility in the home. This was very stressful for me and Dexter. Then they got a puppy which added more stress to me. I really need a peaceful and calm environment. When I get overwhelmed, I have nipped at people who don't seem to understand What I need. I have not bit anyone since I came to ACR and my new foster home. That family surrendered me and Dexter in March 2026.
I like to have my crate open so I can go inside wh4en I want to be in my own space. I like to watch my foster home activities and am learning to like lap time and being cuddled.
I know there is a family somewhere that will understand me and Dexter and wants two seniors in the home. Is that you???
