About Chico

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Chico is a lively one-year-old beagle/chihuahua mix who embodies both energy and charm. He loves using his nose to explore, enjoys soliciting attention, and excels at balancing playtime with relaxing downtime. Chico is always ready for new adventures, eager to learn with positive experiences, and quick to bond with those who treat him kindly. When meeting other pets, Chico has shown he can be friendly and social, especially with smaller, polite dogs. A meet and greet with potential canine companions is encouraged to help him start strong in a new home. He will likely thrive with another dog who matches his playful but relaxed personality. For those considering Chico, prior dog experience with positive reinforcement is a plus, or a willingness to learn. Chico sometimes follows his nose, so supervised outdoor time and attention to resources such as food and toys will help him feel secure. Understanding early signs of resource guarding, along with crate or gated meal spaces, ensures everyone stays safe and comfortable. While Chico will do best with older, respectful kids (13+) who are comfortable giving him space, especially around high-value items, he is a fun and loving buddy who blossoms with regular exercise, mental enrichment, and positive training. Chico will make a joyful, active companion, and meeting all family members first will set him up for success in his new home. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
