Spicy is an 8-year-old (approximate) Chihuahua with a big personality packed into a tiny body! He was rescued from a hoarding situation and is looking for a very special home that understands him and will love him for exactly who he is. True to his name, Spicy is a quirky little guy who prefers men and tends to take a long time to warm up to women, sometimes several months. Building trust with Spicy requires patience, consistency, and plenty of treats. He sleeps in his kennel overnight and knows that it's his safe space.
Ideal Home
Spicy prefers a household with no small children. He can do well with a calm, submissive canine companion who respects his space.
Ongoing Health
Spicy is a generally healthy dog. His adoption fee includes all vetting, a MS Health Certificate to travel, spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, a heartworm test (if 6 months or older), microchip, and flea/tick/heartworm prevention.
Training & Support
Spicy is housetrained but may mark indoors if left unsupervised, so he'll need a home willing to help manage this behavior. The quickest way to Spicy's heart is through food; he absolutely loves treats and takes them very gently. Food is the key to earning his trust and building a lasting bond. Spicy prefers firm, confident touch, while gentle petting can overstimulate him and make him uncomfortable. He will never run up and bite and will advise when he wants to be picked up by jumping on your leg. When he's had enough, he'll let you know with his adorable vocalizations before scampering off to do his own thing. Spicy is a good listener and follows direction.
