Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Little Mateo is a tiny warrior with the biggest heart! This resilient 1-year-old Chihuahua mix has been through quite a journey after being rescued after being hit by a car. After a successful surgery to reconstruct his knee, he’s still learning that it’s okay to put his weight on it again. You’ll occasionally see him doing a signature "hop," but every day he gains more confidence and realizes the pain is a thing of the past!

Don’t let his recovery fool you—Mateo is a professional at the game of keep-away! He loves to grab his favorite toy and proudly lead you on a happy chase all over the house. He gets along with humans and dogs of all sizes (though he’s still a mystery when it comes to cats). Since he’s still a young pup at heart, he’ll need a patient family to continue his guidance with potty, kennel, and leash training.

Mateo is fully neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all his vaccines, making him more than ready to find his forever lap!
