Nachito is a senior male Chihuahua living in Brea, CA. He has a short apricot and beige coat, and while he's not neutered due to age and heart health, he's still in need of a caring, permanent home. Though he's not house trained and takes daily heart medication, Nachito deserves a safe, loving place to spend his days.

About Nachito

Nachito was found weaving through busy traffic in El Monte in December 2024. A neighbor shared that his family had moved away and left him behind, though she made sure he never missed a meal when he showed up at her door. Despite having no teeth, Nachito doesn't let it slow him down—he eats without a problem. He does have a heart condition and takes three different medications each day, which he'll require for the rest of his life. Because of his age and fragile heart, neutering isn't an option. Nachito needs a solid, escape-proof home as a permanent foster, so he’s never alone on the street again. Ready to give him the security he’s been missing? Your patience and care could change everything. What are you waiting for? Apply today!

Questions about Nachito

    Chihuahuas like Nachito do best in secure indoor settings, especially apartments or homes where they can avoid harsh weather and have a consistent routine. Their small size makes them well-suited for compact living spaces.

  • How much outdoor space does this breed typically need?

    Chihuahuas need only modest outdoor time—short, supervised walks and a safe yard are enough for Nachito. Due to his age and health, he should never be left outside unattended.

    Chihuahuas can live with gentle, older children who understand how to interact with small dogs. Nachito's history and health mean he'd do best in a calm home with adults or older kids.
