Xavi's Story

**03/29/26 - Meet Xavi!<br/>This lil dude comes to us from the valley after he was found in a shop parking lot covered in oil. A good Samaritan was able to rescue him and help get him cleaned up a little. Several degreasing baths later, Xavi is looking much more like a pup and less like a muskrat. He's feeling a lot better and happier now that he is oil and flea free! Xavi is ~10 years old and is now about 5.9 lbs. <br/>Xavi's coat is still a little stained but he's becoming more handsome with every wash! <br/>Xavi is clingy and affectionate, but has a bit of a Mr. Hyde side to him. He will follow his foster mama around, lay next to her, ask for lovins, and he will even go in and out of his crate without hesitation. But if you dare go to close it and lock it, all hell breaks loose! Xavi turns Hyde and will lunge, growl and nip as you try to lock his kennel. But once he is closed in and you back away, he is just all Sweet boi again. And in the morning when he is left out of his kennel, he is still just as happy as a clam (Assuming that clams are happy, I haven't actually asked one). Xavi is definitely a sweet but spicy little old man, and we are hoping he will continue to mellow as he adjusts to his home life. <br/>So if you also hate locked doors and are interested in adopting this sweet weirdo, fill out an application at www.aychihuahuarescue.org/adopt<br/><br/><br/>**03/26/26 - Approximately 10 yrs old, 6 lbs, sweet boy but potential fear biter. No kids. Accepting applications but cannot be adopted until after 4/10 (dental/neuter).<br/><br/>**03/23/26 - New intake from RGV, approximately 6 lbs, age TBD
