Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Age: 6 years
Weight: 10lbs

Meet Kahlua! He's a gentle chi mix who will melt your heart instantly! Kahlua was rescued in Texas after being surrendered by his owner who no longer had time to care for him.

He is slowly adjusting to the city life, loud noises are still a bit scary to him. His energy level is low to moderate for now (he's still recovering from his long transport north). He is very friendly to people and other dogs on our walks. He has not been exposed to kids yet but I don't think that would become a problem.

His leash skills are good, very go-with-the-flow, and we are working on having him house trained/getting used to a schedule. He goes in his crate without trouble and seems comfortable in it. We have been taking him out 4 to 5 times, he is active and very interested in sniffing. He's interacted with squeaky balls we have at home and will surely be interested in toys soon enough. His favorite thing to do is laying down next to you and nap, he loves to be petted and will get on his back to get his belly rubbed at every possible occasion!

He would do great in a home with another small-ish dog or by himself and is comfortable in an apartment setting. I love the way he walks and he will do tippy taps when he sees the food being prepared. His tongue pops out when his sleeping, he is overall such a lovely cuddle bug that has a lot of love to give and get back!

**Kahlua previously tested positive for heartworm and was treated before he left Texas**
