My name is Jarrod and I am a 7-year-old Chihuahua mix who weighs about 12 lbs. I came up from California to find my forever home, and now that I've had my dental and been medically cleared, I'm officially ready to start my next chapter! I'm a sweet little guy who can be a bit sensitive with fast movements, especially when someone reaches quickly to pick me up. My first instinct may be to scoot away because I get nervous, but once I feel comfortable and secure, I actually really enjoy being held and close to my people. I've also got a surprisingly good walking pace for a little guy and enjoy getting out to explore the world with my humans. I may be small, but I'm definitely not just a purse dog! I'm looking for a home that understands gentle handling and will give me a little time to build trust at my own pace. Once I settle in, I'm a loving companion who enjoys affection and companionship without asking for too much. If you're looking for a sweet little buddy with a sensitive soul and a good walking stride, I might be your perfect match.
