Tapatio's Story

Hi, I’m Tapatio! I’m a 7-year-old male Chihuahua, weighing about 8 pounds, and I’ve got a big personality packed into a tiny body. When I first arrived, I was a little unsure and preferred to keep my distance — but once I decided you were my person? Game over. Now I’m all about laps, cuddles, and soaking up every bit of attention you’re willing to give.<br/><br/>The moment my kennel opens, I come running — straight into your lap or up your leg — because being close to my people is my favorite place to be. I’m incredibly food motivated (especially when treats are involved) and always make sure I’m right there when snacks are handed out.<br/><br/>I do wonderfully with other dogs, both big and small. Right now, I share space with a few small dog friends, and we love curling up together in our beds for cozy naps. I’d be happiest in a home with another dog, but I’d also do just fine as your one-and-only as long as I get plenty of love and attention.<br/><br/>I will come neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations and preventatives. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who starts off spicy and turns into pure sweetness, I might be your guy. My adoption fee is $750.<br/><br/>Please apply to adopt me here:<br/>https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/63adcb00cb896f59b74103d2/697bd277e9d1a0279b0fecbc<br/><br/>———<br/><br/>If interested, please do not submit an inquiry through Petfinder.
