Meet the delightful Shorty! This dapper little fellow has made his way to the loving embrace of a foster home in Rhode Island, after an unexpected chapter in Houston, Texas, where he faced the unfortunate scenario of being an owner surrender at a bustling shelter. But don’t let that sad backstory fool you! Shorty is a beacon of resilience—he's a big personality packed into a petite frame, full of charm and humor that can brighten up any room! 🎉 Shorty knows what it means to be loved. He adores his cozy dog bed and has an undeniable zest for life. Just picture this: a funny little character who’ll keep you chuckling with his antics! Although he does have a slight history of an ACL injury, which means he sometimes scoots around on three legs, he doesn’t let that dampen his spirits one bit. His inner spark shines bright! 🌟 As a long-bodied Chihuahua mix, he carries all the adorable delicacy that comes with the breed. Super sweet with his humans, he loves to play with his toys and interacts splendidly with other dogs—just watch out if you have cats, as he finds them to be a bit sinister! 🐱🚫 At around six years young—though with a few charming grey hairs, a testament to his wisdom—Shorty is what you might call a ready-made pet. He's well-versed in crate training, enjoys his daily walks, and brings joy to every situation he steps into, whether it's with a full family or a solo retiree. Though he's mostly housebroken, like any lovable companion, he might have the odd accident, and he’s a bit of a chatterbox! So if you’re a fan of lively conversations, Shorty’s your guy! 🐾 Remember, he’s looking for that purr-fect cat-free home where he can thrive! Adoption is a fun journey, but keep in mind that due to state restrictions, residents from Massachusetts and New Hampshire can't adopt him at this time.
