Shorty - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Pacific Grove, California

Looks like: Chihuahua
Male, 12 years old (estimated), 4 pounds

Shorty is true to his name, weighing only 5lbs at 12 years old! He's a sweet old man who likes people and other dogs--though being so tiny, he prefers they're close to his size. Great things come in small packages: he's house-trained, crate-trained, walks well on leash, and knows his basic commands.

Shorty makes the perfect companion. He's typically calm, though he may give a bark of "hello!" on occasion. He's happy to stick by you, but he also does just fine on his own. What do you need? He's got it down!

Shorty joins POMDR after his guardian moved to assisted living.
