Chido

Chido was recently abandoned by his owner, and all the sudden changes have been a lot for him to process. It’s heartbreaking for such a loyal companion. Despite everything, he remains a sweet boy who truly just wants a person of his own.<br/>Chido may be small, but he’s mighty and knows what he likes — and he’s not shy about letting you know when something (or someone) isn’t his favorite. He gives clears signals and will growl when uncomfortable. He does best with a confident, calm person who can take the lead, because deep down, Chido doesn’t want to be the boss — he just wants to feel safe and loved.<br/><br/>Energy Level?<br/>low<br/><br/>House trained?<br/>Yes.<br/><br/>Describe how they are on leash?<br/>He's a good little walker.
