MIKE T
Chihuahua, Mixed Breed
🇺🇸
Hopkinton, Massachusetts
September 16th
male, small, adult
DESCRIPTION
Meet Mikey, a tiny guy looking for a cozy retirement home where he can be spoiled like the little prince he is. He may have a spicy side with new people, but give him some time (and treats!) and he'll become your devoted little shadow.
Once comfortable, Mikey loves sitting on your lap and would make an awesome work-from-home buddy, happily settling beside you. He loves cozy blankets, carrying around stuffed toys, car rides, walks, sunny spots, and being close to his person. He's currently in foster and has done well with calm dogs and dog-savvy cats with gradual introductions.
Mikey prefers affection and handling on his own terms, so he is looking for an adult-only home. He also likes his space around food and high-value treats.
Being alone is still tough for him, so a home where someone is around often would be ideal while he continues building confidence with alone time.
Mikey has cataracts, including a mature cataract in one eye, so his adopters should be prepared for ongoing veterinary monitoring and some vision loss as he ages
If you're looking for a tiny companion with lots of personality, Mikey may be your guy.
ABOUT: CHIHUAHUA DOG BREED
The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. 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.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
