Chico

Hi… I’m Chico. And yes, I know I’m a little different.<br/>Hi there. I’m Chico—a small dog with a big personality and an even bigger collection of quirks.<br/><br/>A while back, I had a back injury. It healed, but I ended up with my own… unique way of getting around. My foster mom says I sometimes look like the little hand from The Addams Family. I’m not totally sure what that means, but I’ve chosen to take it as a compliment.<br/><br/>I’m not your typical dog. I’m more like a quiet little creature who wants a cozy life, a calm home, and a human who thinks “weird” is something wonderful.<br/><br/>About Me<br/><br/>I enjoy:<br/><br/>Peace<br/>Quiet<br/>Soft beds<br/>Predictable dinners<br/>I do not enjoy:<br/><br/>Chaos<br/>Noise<br/>Being rushed<br/>Walking fast<br/>Walking at all, actually<br/>I’m pretty low-maintenance… as long as your definition of low-maintenance includes carrying me outside to pee like a tiny, slightly judgmental prince.<br/><br/>The Potty Talk (Let’s Just Get It Over With)<br/><br/>Let’s start with poop—because why not?<br/><br/>Mine looks like rabbit pellets. Yes, really. Tiny little pieces. So honestly… is it that bad? If I must go indoors because the weather is too cold, too hot, too wet, too windy, or just generally offensive, at least I keep cleanup manageable. You’re welcome.<br/><br/>Now, about the peeing. In my previous home, I was going constantly. The vet checked everything—nothing unusual showed up. Back with my foster mom, I am trying really hard. But my foster mom puts potty pads down for me and I am really good about hitting them.<br/><br/>But if I’m left too long during the day… mistakes can happen. I believe in honesty.<br/><br/>The Food Situation (Very Important)<br/><br/>Please pay close attention here: I am picky. Capital P.<br/><br/>Pick a soft food and I love it… until I don’t. And when that happens, I will absolutely refuse to eat it. I’m talking full hunger strike. Dramatic artist energy.<br/><br/>So here’s a crucial tip: do not buy in bulk. The moment you commit to a large supply is the exact moment I will decide I hate it.<br/><br/>Where I Thrive<br/><br/>I do best in a home that is:<br/><br/>Very quiet<br/>Very calm<br/>Very patient<br/>Possibly has a fenced yard (I do better pottying off-leash)<br/>Has no kids<br/>Has someone home often<br/>I am not a hiking buddy.<br/>I am not a jogging partner.<br/>I am not even a “short walk around the block” kind of guy.<br/><br/>My Adoption Story<br/><br/>I had an adoption that didn’t work out. They really tried, but my potty quirks were too much for that environment.<br/><br/>It was hard to come back, but also a relief to return to the calm, predictable routine of my foster home. Now my foster mom is being extra careful to find me the right forever home.<br/><br/>No more bouncing around. I’m ready for my person.<br/><br/>What I Can Offer<br/><br/>I won’t fetch.<br/>I won’t do tricks.<br/>I won’t hike mountains.<br/><br/>But I will be your quiet, quirky little companion.<br/><br/>I’ll do a happy wiggle at dinnertime.<br/>I’ll sleep peacefully knowing you’re nearby.<br/>And I’ll love you—with all my odd little ways—for the rest of my life.<br/><br/>If you read all of this and thought,<br/>“Honestly… I kind of love this weird little guy,”<br/><br/>…then maybe you’re exactly who I’ve been waiting for.

Hi there. I’m Chico—a small dog with a big personality and an even bigger collection of quirks.

A while back, I had a back injury. It healed, but I ended up with my own… unique way of getting around. My foster mom says I sometimes look like the little hand from The Addams Family. I’m not totally sure what that means, but I’ve chosen to take it as a compliment.

I’m not your typical dog. I’m more like a quiet little creature who wants a cozy life, a calm home, and a human who thinks “weird” is something wonderful.

About Me

I enjoy:

Peace
Quiet
Soft beds
Predictable dinners
I do not enjoy:

Chaos
Noise
Being rushed
Walking fast
Walking at all, actually
I’m pretty low-maintenance… as long as your definition of low-maintenance includes carrying me outside to pee like a tiny, slightly judgmental prince.
