Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Salisbury, North Carolina

Hi there! My name is Sushi, and I’m a little guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart.

I’m about 8 months old, which means I’m right in my prime puppy era: full of fun, curiosity, and lots of zoomies! I love to play, explore, and be wherever my people are. If you’re doing something, I want to be part of it. Bonus points if there are toys involved!

I’ve been told I’m pretty outgoing and friendly, and I’m always excited to make new friends (both human and furry!). Life is just so fun, and I want to experience all of it with you.

But don’t worry, I’m not all energy. Once I’ve gotten my wiggles out, I turn into a total cuddle bug. Seriously, I love snuggling and being in your lap. I’ll happily curl up with you and soak in all the love. Being close to my person is my favorite place to be.

I came from a house with over 20 other dogs, so when I arrived at the sanctuary with my brothers and sisters, I was pretty scared. It only took me a day to open up and show everyone what a fun guy I am!

I’m around 10–15 pounds, so I’m the perfect size for adventures during the day and cozy couch time at night. I know how to walk on a leash and am a confident, happy boy!

If you’re looking for a playful best friend who will keep you smiling, follow you everywhere, and double as a built-in cuddle buddy… I think we might be perfect for each other .

**Important**

I am up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered.

The cost to adopt is $250, and the adoption process begins with an Adoption Application that is located at: www.faithfulfriendsnc.org/adopt

Please read all guidelines before sending in an application. Do not reach out to the sanctuary about the status of your application, we will contact you if we are interested in setting up an appointment.
