About Chapo

Chapo is set on earning the sidekick role in your life. He’s the definition of a lap dog—content anywhere, as long as you’re nearby. At around seven years old, this small Chihuahua mix craves car rides and endless snuggling and really shines when he can just chill by your side. He’s steady on the leash, house and crate trained, and happiest when life moves at a gentle pace. A pushy dog or lots of young kids throws him off, so he’s searching for a mellow home, no little kids, and ideally another calm canine companion—though he’d happily lap up all the attention as the only dog, too. Chapo also gets along with cats, opening the door to even more potential homes. He’s waiting in Windsor, CO. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
