Meet Bento, the delightful little Chihuahua mix who’s bursting with personality! 🌟 At just 2 years old (he's a Scorpio, which means he’s got that intense, passionate energy!), he weighs in at a dainty 6.9 lbs. This little nugget may be small, but don’t let his size fool you—he’s got a big heart and an even bigger spirit! 💖 Bento shines when it comes to making friends! Whether he's sharing belly rubs 🤗 with his human pals or sprinting into playtime with a resident dog, he’s ready to bring joy and laughter to any household. Just picture it: you, Bento, and a cozy couch, enjoying a movie night while he snuggles into your side. Pure bliss! 🛋️🎬 However, this spunky guy has been through a lot and needs a home that will shower him with love and patience. 🥰 He has a little issue with "resource guarding"—that means when he’s enjoying his food, he’d prefer it wasn't taken away. But no worries, with the right training and care, he can definitely learn to share! He needs a family that understands this little quirk and can offer him the stability he deserves. Now, about his medical needs: Bento is scheduled for his neuter appointment on December 9th at the DOVER BVSPCA (Horsepond Road). 🏥 It’s SUPER important to keep this appointment as a condition of adoption, and applicants must be located in Delaware or within an hour of the appointment to be eligible. So, clear your schedules because little Bento will be counting on you! While he is housebroken and crate trained (yes!), he’s yet to have much experience in the car—his only outings have been to his vet and transitioning to his foster home in a crate, which wasn’t exactly his cup of tea. 🚗😅 He thrives during walks and has an energetic burst when it's playtime, but for the most part, he’s quite laid-back and sweet! And if you have kids—great! 🎉 Bento is absolutely fond of kids, especially those 8 years and older who can be gentle with him. Just remember, he’s a small guy with feelings, so a tender touch is key! Overall, Mr. Bento is looking for a family that will embrace his uniqueness, shower him with love 💞, and give him the room he needs to grow into the best version of himself. He prefers not to be crated or left alone outside in a fenced-in yard—he just wants to be close to his humans! So if you’re looking for a loyal companion who will always remind you that good things come in small packages, Bento is your guy! 🥰 For those who want to give Bento the forever home he’s dreaming of, apply through the Buddy App today! 🐾 Don't delay—Bento is ready for a family that will cherish him for the beautiful soul he is!
