Chou is a 5-year-old Chihuahua with a gentle soul and a lot of heart. Despite a rough start in a scary shelter, Chou carries hope and affection wherever he goes. He can be hesitant at first and may shy away from new faces or environments, but with time and patience, he blossoms into a devoted, loving companion who just wants to be near you. Chou thrives when given a soft place to rest and kind words to help build his trust. He responds best when allowed to set his own pace, and he’ll start following you around once he feels secure. He gets along with other dogs and cats, making him a versatile addition to many homes. Chou just needs someone willing to give him the patient, steady care he deserves.
