Hank - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Hank is a 6-year-old Chihuahua mix who weighs around 9 pounds, and he's convinced life is best enjoyed from the comfort of a lap. This sweet little guy has the gentlest soul and hands out kisses to just about anyone willing to say hello. He's happiest when he's close to his people, happily supervising every chore, errand, or lazy afternoon. Nothing is too boring if it means he gets to spend time with you.

Don't let his love of cuddles fool you. Hank has a playful side too. Around the house, he's always up for entertaining himself with a toy or inviting you to a game of tug, which he's certain he's destined to win every single time. He adores being outside and loves taking in all the sights and smells, but after a block or two, he'll politely let you know he's ready to be carried instead. Whether it's in your arms or tucked into a cozy bag, Hank is perfectly content letting you handle the transportation while he enjoys the view.

Hank walks beautifully on leash, staying close by your side and checking in often. He mostly ignores other dogs, though he'll occasionally show interest in one around his own size. He can be startled by sudden movements and appreciates a little reassurance when he's feeling unsure, but his trust grows quickly with kind, patient people. While the crate isn't exactly his favorite place, he'll quietly sleep through the night in it like the perfect gentleman. Hank is looking for a home where he can be cherished like the little king he believes he is, and in return, he'll be your most devoted shadow and biggest fan.
