Garden - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Boerne, Texas

Hi. I'm Garden. Tiny. Delicate. Velcro Baby Supreme.

At just 8 pounds, I look like someone crossed a baby deer with a Chihuahua/Rat Terrier and then accidentally gave me supermodel legs. I can jump surprisingly high for a creature that weighs less than a gallon of milk, so don't let my tiny size fool you.

I'm 3 years old, potty trained, pee pad trained, and professionally skilled at convincing humans to carry me everywhere. My love language is being held. If you're sitting down, I assume it's because you're preparing your lap for me. If you're sleeping, I'll be under the covers because obviously that's where tiny princesses belong.

I can be a little nervous when I first meet people, but once I realize you're not a serial vacuum cleaner operator, I'm incredibly friendly and affectionate. Honestly, I just need a minute to process things.

I may be tiny, but I'm fiercely loyal. If danger strikes, I will absolutely do my best to protect you from your high school tuba player while trembling like a leaf the entire time. Heroism comes in all sizes.

I'd really love a home with another dog. Having a canine bestie helps me feel brave enough to tackle life's biggest challenges, like the mailman existing or a squirrel running across the yard.

Because I'm so tiny, I'd do best with older children or no children. I may look athletic, but I'm still basically a snack-sized deer.

Speaking of snacks... I am EXTREMELY food motivated. You know those influencers who say they're "not doing it for the money"? Couldn't be me. I absolutely will work for treats.

So if you're looking for a tiny shadow, a professional blanket burrower, a world-class cuddler, and a little best friend who will adore you forever, I have one question:

When are you coming to pick me up?

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size.

They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.
