Tapas's Story

🐾 Meet Tapas! 🐾<br/>Approx. 6-8 years old | Chihuahua | Neutered | Microchipped | UTD on Vaccines<br/><br/>Tapas is a tiny tan-and-white Chihuahua who has clearly had a tough past. He is extremely fearful of human touch and the world around him. While he will allow you to wrap him in a blanket and place him in your lap, he doesn't seem to find comfort in it yet--and we want to be honest that we don't know if he ever will. Tapas may remain a very timid, hands-off kind of dog for the rest of his life.<br/><br/>He also doesn't appear to be house trained and will need someone who can work with him patiently or is comfortable with a dog who may never fully learn those skills. Tapas does fine around other dogs, and we're unsure how he feels about cats.<br/><br/>Tapas will need a quiet, understanding home with someone who is willing to love him exactly as he is--no expectations, no pressure, just kindness. He is in need of a dental, which we are getting scheduled. He comes neutered, microchipped, and up to date on Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP vaccines.<br/><br/>Tapas isn't the dog for everyone--but for the right person, he could be a gentle, low-maintenance companion who simply needs a safe place to exist. If you have room in your home and heart for a fragile soul who may never fully come out of his shell, Tapas might be the one. 💛🐾
