Carlos's Story

Pomona, CA You must live within 1.5 hours of where the dog is being fostered<br/><br/>We&#39;re excited to introduce you to a charming little white and black Chihuahua who recently joined us from a shelter in Riverside, California. We were quite surprised that this tiny fellow, weighing only about 4 1/2 to 5 pounds, hadn&#39;t found his forever home sooner, perhaps simply due to his small size. Upon picking him up, we learned his shelter name was Cracker, which we felt deserved a bit of an upgrade.<br/><br/>During the car ride back, as music by Carlos Santana played, immediately followed by Tito Fuentes, his new name became clear: Carlos. He&#39;s no longer Cracker! We also welcomed another dog impounded the same day, now named Tito (formerly Tater), so our former Tater and Cracker are now Carlos and Tito!<br/><br/>Carlos is quite the character. Despite his small stature, he carries himself with the confidence of an Irish Wolfhound, often playfully teasing larger dogs. When they decide to engage in a chase, he takes off yelping dramatically, as if in grave danger. He&#39;s a surprisingly swift little guy and will quickly dart into the nearest small space to escape once he&#39;s had his fun. We have a feeling that if you could peek inside his hiding spot, you&#39;d find him cheekily sticking his tongue out at whoever was chasing him!<br/><br/>He&#39;s generally a well-behaved dog, though he can be a little vocal at times. Carlos is mostly house-trained but will benefit from a bit of patience and consistency in a new environment. It&#39;s important to remember that even house-trained dogs need time to adjust to a new routine and schedule, so there might be a few accidents initially. He enjoys short outings every couple of hours to bask in the sun before coming back inside.<br/><br/>Carlos truly loves to be near his people, whether it&#39;s sitting contentedly beside them or snuggling up for some lap time. However, he isn&#39;t overly dependent or a &#34;Velcro&#34; dog. He would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a small dog to share cuddles, belly rubs, and lots of affection with.<br/><br/>If you think Carlos might be the perfect new member of your family, please don&#39;t hesitate to get in touch with us.<br/><br/>Www.gunterslegacy.org
