Nacho - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Nacho!

Nacho is a 58-year-old Chihuahua mix with a big personality packed into a very small package. If you're looking for a cuddle buddy, your search is over. Nacho is quite possibly one of the snuggliest dogs on the planet. He doesn't just sit next to you for affection; he'll launch himself headfirst into your lap and burrow in as close as physically possible.

This sweet little guy loves everyone he meets and is happiest when he's spending time with his people. He's house-trained, knows his basic commands (his name, come, sit, lay down, go to bed, etc...), and is crate-trained... technically. He'll happily stay in his crate, but he'll also provide a full vocal performance the entire time, just so you don't forget he's in there.

Nacho's hobbies include cuddling, cuddling harder, and launching himself into laps at high speed. He firmly believes that every stranger is just a friend he hasn't met yet. As loving as he is, Nacho also takes his job as Head of Neighborhood Security very seriously. In his professional opinion, everything on the other side of the fence is a national security threat... even the wind. As the self-appointed head of Neighborhood Security, he'll bravely warn off these obvious threats with his fiercest "scary dog" voice.

What Nacho lacks in teeth, he more than makes up for in personality. With only 16 teeth left, he's become a master of the accidental blep, which makes his already adorable face even more charming. When he's feeling playful, Nacho has another signature move, he makes the funniest little revving-engine noise while wrestling and playing. It's impossible not to laugh.

Equal parts lovebug, comedian, and tiny neighborhood watchman, Nacho is looking for a home with a warm lap, and people who appreciate his strong opinions, excellent snuggling skills, and a heart that's far bigger than he is. If you're looking for a dog who will love you with his whole heart, keep your lap permanently occupied, and keep you entertained with his running commentary on the world, Nacho is ready to be your best friend.
