About Spikey

Spikey was surrendered, along with his son Casper, when his former family couldn’t continue caring for them. Now fostered and waiting for a new home, Spikey has fully leaned into the comfort of napping under the covers and all the cuddles he can get. His foster remarks often about his affectionate nature; he’s happiest right next to you and has a quirky side—he barely makes a sound, even around barking dogs. There’s one clear boundary for Spikey, though: he does not want to share meals with cats, so a cat-free dining area is a must. Spikey is an 11 1/2-year-old Chihuahua with a short, brown and white coat, and he’ll be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before heading home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!

Questions about Spikey

  • What type of living environment is this breed usually best suited for?

    Chihuahuas like Spikey adjust well to apartment living since they are small and generally don’t require much space. A calm, cozy environment is often best for them, especially as they age.

  • How much outdoor space does this breed typically need?

    Spikey, as a Chihuahua, only needs a small amount of outdoor space for walks and bathroom breaks. He'll benefit more from short strolls and indoor playtime than large open yards.

  • Is this breed typically suitable for homes with children?

    Chihuahuas can do well with respectful children, but because of their size and age like Spikey’s, a home with older kids who understand gentle handling is usually preferred.
