Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Froyo would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.
Froyo is Looking For:
Meet this very sweet little gentleman! At 5 years old, this black-and-tan Chihuahua has left Puerto Rico behind in search of a loving family to call his own. With his affectionate personality, he's ready to trade shelter life for cozy blankets, sunny windows, and plenty of time with his favorite people.
If you're looking for a loyal companion with a heart full of love, this handsome boy may be the perfect match. Whether you're relaxing at home, heading out for a stroll, or simply enjoying a quiet evening together, he'll be happiest by your side. Come meet this charming little pup and see why everyone describes him as a very sweet boy—he can't wait to start his next chapter with you!
What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon!
Heartworm Information: Froyo is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment.
We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
