My story

　　Taco.

　　The perfect little man with the perfect name…which showcases his perfect amount of spiciness!

　　Taco (male) is a senior chihuahua (possibly miniature pinscher?) mix. He is 11 years young and weighs-in @ 11lbs. And although in his senior years, he still has an adequate amount of energy! He does look to have some cataracts, which for his age is pretty typical. As for his history…Taco was an owner surrender who made his way from down south; he desires nothing more than safety + stability for the remainder of his years.

　　He is a lap dog through and through, and would love to spend day in & day out lounging on the lap of his favorite human! His previous placement did notice that although he likes laps, he doesn’t enjoy being picked up from someone in a standing position; he much prefers when someone is sitting down. Taco bonds quickly to his human and they truly become his whole world.

　　In typical chihuahua fashion, he does have his quirks…but all-in-all is an incredible companion and friend.

　　Taco’s preference is definitely older kiddos and/or no kiddos in the home. While he does ok with teens, he can be a bit moody at times (can’t we all??? ). Therefore no young children is a must! He does just fine with other dogs (keep in mind his small size!) who are lower-energy, but does not appreciate high energy dogs who are in his space without his permission. He’d also love to be your one & only! Taco is a wonderful snuggler.

　　He’s fully potty-trained, but his kennel is NOT a space he’s very fond of…& he will use his voice to let you know that! A home with limited stairs/without slippery stairs would be ideal. Some more of Taco’s favorite things: sleeping in bed, giving tiny nose kisses, going for walks [where he is so adorable, prancing like a pony ], running around the yard, and even a good play session when he’s feeling spunky! He is a sweetie…and he knows what he likes vs. what he doesn’t like (& we can’t say we blame him!). So if you think this precious dude sounds like the one for you, please apply + reach out via private message. Just ask for Taco!
