About Tiny Tim

Tiny Tim, or just Tiny, packs an outsized personality into his 8lb long-haired Chihuahua frame. He’ll greet you—and everyone else—with a bark way bigger than you’d expect, signaling both confidence and charm. His fluffy cinnamon coat and bright eyes make him downright adorable, but what stands out most is his fearless curiosity and zest for life. Always ready for adventure, Tiny is happiest when he’s out exploring with you; when the action winds down, he transforms into a snugly, loyal nap companion who loves to curl up and snooze. You’ll catch his snore—a tiny rumble that’s more cute than disruptive—if you’re lucky. Tiny thrives with other dogs and is polite (if largely indifferent) with cats, though he feels passionate about dinnertime. His ideal setup includes at least one other dog to keep him mentally and physically active. Chewing is his past-time of choice, especially if left alone for too long; he’s crate trained and used to spending time in his crate both at night and whenever you’re away. Food is a major motivator and he tackles kibble with gusto. He knows 'sit', is mastering 'off' and 'stay', and displays a stubborn streak typical of smart little dogs. Tiny enjoys car rides but needs to be crated due to car sickness, and you’ll want to keep your favorite shoes and clothes out of his reach. You’ll get love, laughs, and unmistakable Chihuahua sass in one small, heartwarming package. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
