Franklin D Roosevelt, "FDR," has a name fitting for a statesman, but this 4-year-old chihuahua would rather win your heart than an election. He’s a lean, long-legged little guy with an affectionate personality and a survivor’s grit. FDR entered rescue after a tough injury that demanded months of rehabilitation. Physically, FDR has made a full recovery, but he still warms up best to people who understand the value of patience and gentle encouragement. He doesn’t expect instant trust—he takes his time, watching for kindness and quiet respect. Once you’re in his circle, FDR reveals a loyal, tender side and thrives as a devoted companion. He reminds you that resilience is often found in the smallest packages. Now, he’s ready to settle into a home where gentle routines and a warm lap are givens, not privileges. FDR is neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccines, including a negative 4DX panel. He is house trained and gets along with other dogs. He’s in Phoenix, AZ, and adopters must meet all household members and complete a home check as part of the process. Ready to welcome a little survivor? Click apply to start the adoption process.
