Stu - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Tacoma, Washington

Meet Stu

The Fetch-Loving, Movie Buff, Seeks a Co-Star for Life!

Hello there! My name is Stu, and I am a two-year-old, 14-pound Chihuahua who is fully neutered, up-to-date on all my vaccines, and officially searching for my forever family.

I might be a little bit shy when we first meet, but don't let that fool you—I warm up incredibly fast! Once I know we are friends, I am an absolute social butterfly who is ready to fill your days with fun and your nights with cuddles.

My Daytime Agenda: Active & Playful.
Don't let my tiny Chihuahua frame fool you—I have the heart of a little athlete!
During the day, my absolute favorite activities include:The Fetch Champion: I am obsessed with playing fetch. Toss my favorite toy, and I will happily bring it back to you again and again.
Strolling the Neighborhood: I love going on walks, sniffing the fresh air, and exploring the world by your side.
The Ultimate Playmate for you and also other dogs with a introduction at first.

Treat Enthusiast: If you have treats, we are instantly best friends. I am highly motivated by snacks, which makes training and bonding with me super easy.
My Evening Agenda: Couch Potato & Co-Sleeper.
Once the sun goes down and my playtime energy is spent, I transition into the ultimate professional lounge act. My dream evening looks exactly like this:Movie Night Critic: I want nothing more than to curl up right next to you on the couch to watch movies. I promise to let you pick what we watch as long as I get unlimited belly rubs.
The Bedtime Snuggler: When it is finally time for lights out, I will be right there with you. I sleep on the big bed with my person during the night, keeping your toes perfectly warm under the blankets.

My Ideal Forever Home.
I am the perfect "best of both worlds" dog. I have enough fun energy to go on walks and play fetch, but I am small and calm enough to be the ultimate lap dog at night. If you have a steady supply of treats, a good movie queue, and a spot on your pillow for a handsome 14-pound sidekick, I am ready to pack my bags!Could you be the one I'm waiting for?
