Barkley Chihuahua Mix Shorewood, IL

This tiny guy is Barkley! He weighs in at a whopping 6 pounds! At 3 years old he is hoping to find his forever home after being moved around quite a bit.

He was returned to the local animal control we pulled him from due to potty accidents in the home. He does have occasional accidents indoors. With him being so small, it is likely hard for him to hold his urine for long periods. He would need a family who is willing to work with him with possible potty training or just frequent trips outside to potty.

He does have luxating patellas on his back legs, which cause him to walk a little funny at times, but do not cause him pain. Our vet believes Barkley is in good shape, and as long as he stays at an ideal weight, he is unlikely to have issues with his legs.

He's a sweet little dude who really just wants to be by his people. He's a vocal guy who will let you know he wants attention and to play. Barkley has met dogs of a wide range of sizes and ages and seems to do well. He recently attended an event off-site and met some young kids and seemed to do okay with them as well.
