Cider - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Hudson, Illinois

Meet Cider, born June 28, 2026, and currently about 3.5 pounds.

Cider is the little white-and-apricot apple-headed guy with the blue eye, because apparently being ridiculously cute wasn't enough and he needed a little extra flair.

He's playful, cuddly and LOVES to eat. Seriously. These puppies have never met a meal they didn't support wholeheartedly.

Cider can be crated and rides nicely in the car. He's learning potty training and stairs, although like any puppy his age, both are still works in progress.

Leashes will come later. Right now Cider and his brothers are still trying to eat each other's collars, so we figured we'd master wearing the equipment before adding more equipment.

He's 3.5 pounds now, but we suspect these guys may be larger Chihuahuas when grown-possibly somewhere around 8-10 pounds. That's only our best guess.

Cider is sweet, silly, snuggly and very good at convincing you that he absolutely has not eaten recently. Even when you watched him do it.
