About Blue

Blue is a very shy and insecure pup who is looking for a home with another confident dog to show him the world isn't so scary! Blue has friends both human and canine in the shelter that he really loves but will need time, experience and patience in a home to trust.

About Chihuahua Dogs

Chihuahuas are pint-sized dogs with larger-than-life personalities. These saucy, confident little companions are fiercely loyal to their owners and surprisingly bold for their tiny stature. Their expressive eyes and quirky personalities make them endlessly entertaining.

Adopting a Chihuahua means gaining a portable, devoted companion who'll bond deeply with you. They're perfect for apartment living and travel, and their longevity means many years of companionship. With proper socialization, Chihuahuas are charming, affectionate little dogs who steal hearts wherever they go.
