Meet Chopper, a tiny little guy with a BIG personality!
Chopper came to CRT from a heartbreaking hoarding case in Denton, Texas, where 58 Chihuahuas were seized. Thankfully, those days are behind him, and this adorable little boy has completed his vet work and is now ready to find a loving forever home!
Don’t let his tiny size fool you! Chopper is confident, playful, and likes to be the leader of the pack! He gets along well with other small dogs but prefers to be the one calling the shots. Large dogs, however, are not his cup of tea. Chopper is all puppy! He loves to run, wrestle, tumble, and play! He’s a big fan of toys, especially chew toys, and absolutely LOVES a good game of fetch!
When meeting new people, Chopper can be a little shy and may bark at first, but once he has a chance to settle in, his sweet personality shines through. He enjoys people and should do well in a home with respectful children ages 10 and older.
Chopper is about 1 year old and weighs just 4.5 pounds. This little guy has a lovely white-and-apricot coat, beautiful long legs, and erect ears that give him a charming, distinctive look.
A few things to know about Chopper:
Gets along well with other small dogs
Not a good match for homes with large dogs
Confident little guy who likes to take the lead
Loves toys, chew toys, fetch, and puppy playtime
Can be shy and bark when meeting new people, but settles down
Working on potty training and doing well
Crate trained and sleeps in his crate at night
Just beginning harness and leash training
Alert and vocal when he hears unfamiliar noises, so apartment living is not recommended
Chopper is looking for a patient, loving family who understands that he’s still a young man and will need continued training, guidance, and plenty of opportunities to burn off that puppy energy!
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, spirited little companion who packs a whole lot of personality into just 4.5 pounds, Chopper might be your perfect match!
