Mr A aka Atticus - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Tacoma, Washington

Mr A aka Atticus
17 pounds of Little Love Waiting to Feel Safe

Sweet Mr A is about a year and a half old , weighs just 17 pounds, and is a Chihuahua mix with a very tender, timid little heart. Rescued from a high-kill shelter, waiting for the person who will change his world.

His foster family has surrounded him with love, cuddles, patience, and kindness. But poor Mr A is still so scared. Instead of feeling comforted, his little eyes still show fear, and he spends much of his time hiding. We can only imagine what this little boy has been through.

No pressure. No expectations. Just safety, routine, kindness, and the chance to learn that the world can be a good place.

Mr A may not be ready to shower you with kisses or curl up in your lap just yet. But he deserves the chance to feel safe enough to discover who he can be.
