Archie is a small Chihuahua/Puggle mix who’s looking for a very particular kind of home. Pulled from a county shelter after being labeled “rescue only,” Archie has shown he can be loving and friendly with volunteers, but only on his terms. He has quirks that require careful navigation: Archie does not tolerate being handled for things like vaccinations and needs sedation for vet care. His future adopter should not only be experienced with Chihuahuas but also confident managing dogs with behavioral quirks. A fully fenced yard is required since Archie can’t be leashed or harnessed right away, and he’s expected to learn potty training fairly quickly. Archie does best with women and isn’t comfortable around most men or any children, so a female-only, adult household is a must. He cannot live with other dogs or cats. If you’re seeking a special companion and are able to offer patience and structure, Archie could be the one. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
