Crisp Apple 14258 - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in San Francisco, California

If you're looking through our orchard of mutts, consider picking yourself a Crisp Apple! The cutest pup in the patch, this little guy will easily be the apple of your eye! At under five pounds, this brown and white cutie may be smaller than some apples you've seen, and he's going to fly off the shelves before you know it. Sweeter than the apple juice for which he's named, Crisp Apple is a bit shy initially but so, so warm once he has time to get comfortable. The big world can be scary for such a tiny guy, so Crisp Apple is looking for a forever family to keep him safe in his golden years. Crisp Apple will melt your heart, if you let him!

Here's some notes from his foster:

Crispy is such a people person! He's so loyal and the way he wants love makes you feel loved. He's such a sweet boy with a pure heart for just snuggles and kisses. All he wants to do is be held and cuddled. If it were up to him he would stay at home all day and snuggle up.

Crispy is definitely a little shadow! He loves following wherever I go and within our apartment building loves joining me to do simple things like laundry and take out the trash. When I open the front door he runs to our elevator and enters the elevator once I give him the go ahead. Then hops out of the elevator and races me to our front door (not without a few excited circles on the way!) Very fun companion! Once it's time for bed, crispy will pick a spot and snuggle up right next to you alllll night, it's the sweetest thing.

It takes him a little bit of time to warm up but he does enjoy going outside, sniffing around and chasing flies. He prefers to be held or in a pouch at first but once he's more comfortable he will walk independently. Just be ready to get lots of "awws" during your walk because people just cannot resist his cute little face (:
You will find that his little tongue doesn't always stay in his mouth, it's always peeping out just a tiny bit. I love it and think it adds so much character to his silly little personality. I cannot emphasize how tiny this guy really is.
