Horacio is a sweet Chihuahua mix, about 2–3 years old, weighing 16 lbs. His past was heartbreaking — he was found tied up, neglected, and mistreated — but those dark days are behind him. Today, Horacio is discovering what it means to be safe, cared for, and loved. He is a gentle, affectionate boy who enjoys car rides, loves being around people, and is always ready to give kisses. Horacio has a playful side, though he’s more on the calm and easygoing side, making him the perfect companion for someone who wants both love and tranquility. He enjoys running, short bursts of play, and then relaxing with those he trusts. Despite everything he’s been through, Horacio’s heart is full of love. He is ready for a forever home where he will never again know fear — only kindness, care, and affection. Whoever adopts him will gain not only a loyal companion but also a little soul full of gratitude.
Ideal Home
A home with a tall fenced backyard and an active family that enjoys outdoor activities. Families with a genuine intention to rescue a dog, open to understanding the needs of rescued animals, and with experience in dog behavior and training or a willingness to hire a trainer are ideal. High tolerance and patience for rescued puppies are essential.
Ongoing Health
Horacio is up-to-date on his vaccinations (DHPPI, Rabies, Bordetella), has been dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm and 4DX. He receives monthly preventive protection for fleas, ticks, and heartworm. A spay/neuter certificate and health certificate are included, along with a vaccination booklet. Please note that rescued dogs may require an adjustment period.
Training & Support
Horacio is not house-trained, which is common for rescued dogs who may require significant time for adjustment and training. Patience, understanding, establishing a routine, and clear boundaries will be crucial for his success.
