Quinoa - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Fall River, Massachusetts

Meet Quinoa!

Quinoa is a teeny tiny pint-sized gremlin seeking his forever family who will let him thrive in his gremlin ways.

Quinoa is some sort of chihuahua mix and we're estimating that he's about three years old. He's just under 8lbs so we weren't kidding when we said that he's pint-sized. Unfortunately, Quinoa was found as a stray and an owner never came forward for him so here he is...ready and willing to snatch your heart and run away with it.

This guy is what we like to call fake-shy. For all of about three seconds upon meeting someone new, he acts suspicious as hell...and then he's immediately fine and his usual weirdo (said with affection) self. He does not seem to know cues - if you tell him to sit, he stands up and dances on his hind legs. He's fine on a leash mainly because he's so tiny but he does have the tendency to be a tripping hazard so might not be best for people who aren't steady on their feet.

Quinoa does well with other dogs but can give off "annoying little brother" energy so other dogs should be at least tolerant. He does also have some dominant tendencies which apparently spill over onto cats as well so any cats in the home should ALSO be tolerant or just do their own thing. Kids 10+ because he's so tiny and we also don't know if he's ever been around small children.

If you've got room in your life for a tiny little weirdo, Quinoa is probably for you.
