Binky - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:
I have been working with the Behavior and Training team here at OHS for consistency and am looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. You'll need to meet with me multiple times before taking me home.
To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.

I may be shy at first, but once we get to know each other I will shower you with love!
If you have a vacant lap, I would be glad to keep it warm!
I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!

Fearful Behavior: I can be worried about new people or new surroundings. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to go home to a calm environment.
Handling Sensitivity: I can be overwhelmed by overhandling, restraint or touch. I may exhibit my discomfort in a variety of ways and will need to go to a cat savvy home.



The type of home I'm looking for:
I really enjoyed living with a cat in my last home.
I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
