I'm Mando-a 10-pound Chihuahua mix with a gentle heart and a soft soul. I'll be honest, I can be a little shy and scared when we first meet, especially around new people, but that doesn't mean I don't want love-I just need a little time and patience to feel safe. I tend to warm up a bit quicker to women, but with kindness and understanding, I'll come around to anyone who shows me I can trust them. Once I get to know you, I'll happily come when called and start to show you my sweet, affectionate side. Deep down, I absolutely love being loved on. One of my favorite things is jumping up into your lap where I can feel safe, secure, and close to you-it's my happy place. I'd make the perfect little snuggle buddy, whether we're relaxing on the couch or just enjoying a quiet moment together. I'm an easygoing, well-mannered boy who just needs a home willing to give me the time and attention I deserve so I can grow into a more confident version of myself. With a little patience and a lot of love, I know I'll blossom into the loyal, loving companion you've been looking for. My adoption fee of $225+tax covers the cost of my care and stay here at the humane society. All Pennington County residents must also pay an additional $8 licensing fee at time of adoption.
