Pedro - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Novato, California

(I'm being fostered in the East Bay)

Are you looking for a pint-sized companion with a personality that fills the room? Meet Pedro, our favorite 5lb Chihuahua who truly believes he's a giant in a tiny body!

​About Pedro:

Pedro is the definition of "mighty." He is a social little guy who absolutely loves meeting and playing with other dogs-

​What You Should Know:

Because Pedro is a sensitive soul, he does take a little bit of time to warm up to new human friends. He's looking for a patient adopter who understands that trust is earned, not given.

​It's also important to note that, like many Chihuahuas, Pedro can have his "moody" moments. He appreciates a home where his boundaries are respected and where he has a cozy, quiet spot to retreat to when he needs a little "me time."

​Pedro's Ideal Home:

​Dog-Friendly: He would love a home with a confident canine sibling to show him the ropes!
​Patience is Key: He needs an adopter who understands the "Chihuahua pace"-letting him come to you on his own terms.
​Big Heart, Little Body: He's a lap dog at heart, but he's not a fan of being forced into situations he isn't ready for.
​If you are an experienced dog lover who appreciates the unique quirks of a Chihuahua and has room in your heart (and on your lap) for a spicy, sweet, and social little man, Pedro might just be your perfect match!
