Spicy is an 8-year-old 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. Spicy is a quirky little guy who prefers men and can take a long time to warm up to women, sometimes several months. Building trust with Spicy requires patience, consistency, and plenty of treats.
True to his name, Spicy has a big personality packed into a tiny body! He 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.
Spicy has some unique preferences when it comes to affection. He actually prefers firm, confident touch, while gentle petting can overstimulate him and make him uncomfortable. Spicy will never run up and bite. He will advise when he wants to be picked up by jumping on your leg. We let Spicy decide when he wants affection, and when he's ready, he'll happily jump into your lap for cuddles. 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. He sleeps in his kennel overnight and knows that is his safe space.
He gets along well with cats and other dogs, although Spicy firmly believes he's the biggest dog in the house! He can do well with a calm, submissive canine companion who respects his space.
Ideal Home
We prefer a household with no small children.
Ongoing Health
Spicy is housetrained but may mark indoors if left unsupervised, so he'll need a home willing to help manage this behavior.
Training & Support
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.
