Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Tempo, the little Chihuahua who keeps life moving to a very happy beat. At around 3 years old and a compact 8 pounds, Tempo proves that you don’t need a big dog to bring big energy—he’s the kind of pup who turns everyday moments into a dance party.

Tempo arrived in rescue with his bandmates, Rhythm and Hip Hop, so he already knows the power of good harmony. He’s sweet, silly, and always ready to match your vibe, whether that’s an upbeat play session or a slow, cozy cuddle on the couch. Consider him the perfect mix of playful tempo changes and soft, snuggly ballads.

Treats are Tempo’s love language, and he’s not shy about showing his appreciation. A snack in hand is basically a backstage pass to his heart, and his goofy charm makes every reward feel like an encore-worthy moment.

Tempo is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has tested negative for heartworm and tick-borne diseases. He’s tuned up, ready to go, and just waiting for a forever home that’s ready to keep up with his rhythm.
