Peter Chihuahua Willingboro, NJ

Peter is a 9 year old chihuahua mix looking for a quiet home. He needs a little time and patience to trust, however when he feels comfortable, he is just wonderful. He loves to cuddle, snuggle and be petted. He loves to go on walks and spend time in his yard. If you give him the space and time he needs to settle in, you will see just how loving he can be. He will be happiest in an adult only quiet household as he is very frightened of unfamiliar people. He gets along well with other dogs but could be an only dog too. He is housebroken and sleeps in his crate all night! This sweet guy needs a chance to have a forever home where he can love and be loved.
