Horacio is a sweet Chihuahua mix, about 2-3 years old, weighing 16 lbs. 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
Horacio needs a home with a tall fenced backyard and an active family that enjoys outdoor activities. Families should have a real intention to rescue a dog, with an open conscience about street animals and their need for protection and education. Experience in dog behavior and training is preferred, or a willingness to hire a trainer. High tolerance and patience for rescued pups are essential.
Ongoing Health
Horacio has received a spay/neuter certificate, DHPPI and Rabies vaccines, Bordetella vaccine, is dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm. He has a monthly preventive for fleas, ticks, and heartworm. He also has a health certificate and vaccine booklet.
Training & Support
Horacio is not house-trained and will require patience and understanding as he adjusts to a new environment. It is crucial to provide a safe and loving environment, establish a routine, and set clear boundaries to help him feel secure.
