Brian Chihuahua Mix Los Alamitos, CA

Please read the dog's entire bio before you apply. Sadly, we are no longer able to respond to every application, but if your application appears to be a good match for the dog we will reach out within 3 days.
Brian is a 1.5 yr old chihuahua mix, he is built almost like a grayhound with very long legs and tail but a round little face. Brian was not well cared for in his previous home, he came to us very thin and scared, it will take a bit to get him to a normal weight but he is slowly getting there. He is 8.5 lbs now but should fill our closer to 9 lbs. Brian is shy at first, warms up quickly and becomes very loyal to his person. He likes other small dogs as long as they are not too "in his face" and allow him to warm up at his own pace. He is respectful of cats and older children. Brian is pretty good in the leash and loves sleeping under the covers. He will need a little more help with housetraining, but is smart boy who already learned how to sit.
