Bobarino is a small, white and cream Chihuahua, about 11 years and 4 months old, currently living in Cloverdale, IN. He is neutered, house trained, and has been vaccinated. After a dental procedure where most of his teeth were removed, he'll need softer food. Bobarino does well with other dogs, but is not a fit for homes with cats.

About Bobarino

Bobarino may be small, but he’s got enough presence for a much larger dog. At 11 years old, he brings a blend of old-soul calm and Chihuahua sass. Bobarino is a bit chunky—about 15 lbs—and while he loves other dogs, he gets very intense around cats, so a cat-free home is best. He takes his job as the neighborhood greeter (and sometimes barker) seriously, alerting you to strangers and breaking into a happy dance at mealtime. He never shows any aggression; it's all bluster and confidence. He’s been neutered, is current on all vaccinations, and has had a dental with most of his teeth removed, so he’ll need soft snacks and a gentle touch. Bobarino would make a great foster if a dedicated new home isn’t quite ready. He’s waiting for someone who wants a sturdy little companion with plenty of pep left. Ready to meet your new best friend?
