Dorito

**Dorito (aka "Rito")** 🐾<br/><br/>Dorito is a sweet five-year-old Chihuahua weighing nine pounds. He's a bit shy and cautious when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar places, so he'll do best with a patient family who gives him time to feel safe and settle in at his own pace. Once he becomes comfortable, he's already discovering how nice cuddles can be!<br/><br/>Dorito is happiest indoors, relaxing on the couch or quietly doing his own thing. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and can live with respectful children who understand when he needs a little space.<br/><br/>This quiet little gentleman is house-trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, is treat-motivated, and rarely barks. He's also comfortable spending time home alone, resting calmly on the couch or in his crate. With his calm personality and compact size, Dorito would be a wonderful apartment companion. He's looking for a peaceful, loving home — ideally with someone who works from home or has time to dedicate to helping him build confidence in his new surroundings — where he can continue growing comfortable and blossom into the affectionate companion he's ready to become.<br/><br/>**What his foster says about him:**<br/>"I love how calm Dorito is. He is an extremely sweet boy and with some patience and effort I think he will make a great and loyal companion. He is cautious of new situations and sounds, but once he sees you are close by he builds up courage and confidence."<br/><br/>***Dorito previously tested positive for heartworm and was treated before traveling north.***<br/><br/>**INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?**<br/>To adopt apply on our website [www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt](https://www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt) and email adopt@truenorthrescue.org to follow up on your application.<br/><br/>PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL TO ASK IF HE/SHE IS AVAILABLE.
