Tito's Story

Tito may only weigh 5.5 pounds, but he carries himself like he owns the place. At around 7 years old, he's a chihuahua with all the classic traits: bold, expressive, energetic, and absolutely certain he deserves attention.<br/><br/>Found as a stray with rotted teeth and skin issues from parasites, Tito bounced back with impressive attitude. He's had a full dental cleaning with 18 extractions and is feeling dramatically better. His skin and sleek brown and white coat are now healed, and his ears are nearly there, too. Otherwise, Tito is healthy and active!<br/><br/>Tito is what we'll lovingly call a "firestarter". At home, he always wants attention, but also on his terms. He loves other pets and tries to initiate play constantly... unless it's nap time, in which case he expects peace and quiet. Adding to Tito's mystique, he comes off as mellow and reserved outside of the home, whether it be for a vet appointment or socialization. He's a tiny dog with big character: energetic, social, enigmatic, opinionated and happiest in a home that appreciates the unique allure, and occasional chaos, of chihuahuas.<br/><br/>Tito's ideal home has other playful pets and no little kids. If you're a chi lover who appreciates a dog that knows what he wants, and understands the balance of boundaries and spoiling, Tito will fit right in. Tito doesn't just want a home - he wants an audience. And honestly? He deserves one.
