Leroy and his bonded brother, Patches, are two peas in a pod, ready to bring endless snuggles and puppy-kiss attacks to their forever family! These two came to us through no fault of their own, as their previous family could no longer care for them due to age and health. They absolutely love to run and play freely in a fenced-in yard, as they find collars, harnesses, and leashes a bit perplexing. While their foster mom has tried many options, they tend to back out of collars during walks, so a secure yard is a must for their safety and happiness. Leroy and Patches would thrive with someone who is home for most of the day, though they are comfortable with short periods of alone time. They enjoy the company of other pets, but they are eager for more one-on-one attention and snuggles than they can get in their current busy foster home. They would do best in a home without other dogs, but they are good with small, non-confrontational canine companions. Patches, ever the protective brother, looks out for Leroy, and together they are inseparable, spending their days snuggling and playing. They are couch potatoes at heart, always ready for some quality time with their humans. These boys are not fans of crates for long periods, but they are content in a closed-off room with a comfy spot to rest. They are outside and pee-pad trained, with occasional accidents (understandable for little bladders!). They are good with children aged 10 and up and prefer a calm environment, as they can get anxious with new surroundings and loud noises. Previous chihuahua experience is preferred but not required. Leroy is a treat-catching expert and will do anything for a tasty snack! With a little patience and a lot of love, Leroy and Patches will be your most devoted snuggle buddies.
Ideal Home
