Meet Stuart
Help us find Stuart a perfect home! He is a 10-11 month old Chihuahua mix who will need a VERY special forever home!
Stuart comes from a family of feral chihuahua mixes. So his interactions with people has mostly been "humans feed me. And that's it. He was able to be trapped in a dog pen outside with his sister back in mid August and he has slowly been introduced to pets and being held. He has been learning how good people are in his foster home, but he really only cares about one person at a time. He is becoming more and more snuggly with his foster and is super curious of kids, but he prefers to stay out of arms reach. He will snuggle at night with his human family and he loves to take treats from them, but humans are scary when standing up and walking around. He just isn't sure what we will do! When his person is sitting down, he is learning to come up to her lap or to lay at her feet.
Oh and he LOVES daily walks! He waits (not so patiently) for her to hook his leash to his collar. Then he's off and ready to go!
He will need a forever family who is very patient and understands that he will probably always be wary of strangers and will probably be a "one family only type of dog.
He will need a yard which is securely fenced in for a dog his size (he weighs about 20 pounds). And Stuart will need a doggy companion in his home to learn from. We have found that this is the best way to teach a human skittish dog that people are good and they also help with housetraining. He loves his crate and goes in it when he needs somewhere safe to go. He also loves resting on the couch and running around with his doggy friends.
Does Stuart sound like he right little guy for you? Can you give Stuart the perfect forever home?
