Marco - Miniature Pinscher and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Fairfield, Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Marco! A handsome little MinPin/Chihuahua mix about 3 years old, 15 lbs, and I'm looking to steal your heart. I'm a calm and collected little dude who loves people but is still lying low and observing the goings-on in my foster home. I have a cool foster mom and other dogs to play with, and I get along great with everyone, but I'm not really playful, at least not yet. I'm affectionate and sweet, following my foster mom all around the house, and I enjoy being near her, but I'm not really snuggly, at least not yet. Overall, I am a nice little dog, already housebroken, only bark to alert you, well-behaved in a home, and I don't guard my food or toys. It seems pretty apparent that I am looking for love and just biding my time until I find my forever family.

My backstory is pretty common here in Texas... I was a stray dog, lost or dumped, wandering along a country road when a lady picked me up. After failed attempts to find my owner, I was surrendered to 4 Little Paws Rescue. My foster mom says I'm an enigma, a sweet little puzzle who is smart and adaptable, low-maintenance, and will, at the very least, make a nice little low-key companion... or wind up being the love of your life. :-) Inquire about me today.
