My story

　　Alter came to us as a stray after surviving on the streets for a few weeks. After contacting & searching for his previous family with no one coming to claim him, he is ready for his next adventure.

　　He is a 10 year old male chihuahua mix. He is neutered, microchipped & vaccinated. He weighs around 16lbs.

　　Alter was very shy when he arrived but it only took him a few days to let his personality shine! He is curious, very food motivated & has great energy. He knows what he wants. He loves to follow you around & observe what you’re doing. He would enjoy a nice dog bed to cuddle into & would learn to enjoy sleeping next to you in your bed. He gets along with other dogs & all sized humans, we are unsure about cats. He is a quick learner so we feel learning to walk on a leash/harness would come easy to him. He uses a dog door to go outside to potty & will use potty pads as well.

　　He needs a soft place to land! Please complete an adoption application at and you will be contacted within 48 hrs of submitting if your application fits his current needs.

　　If you have any questions or would like to adopt Alter, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
