Hi! I'm Marshmallow, an 8-year-old, 6-lb Chihuahua with a big personality packed into a tiny little body. I may be small, but I know exactly what I like in life: comfy beds, tasty snacks and humans who understand that sometimes a guy just needs his personal space respected. I'm a spunky little senior with all the classic Chihuahua charm; independent, opinionated and full of character. Once I'm comfortable, I'm happy to hang out nearby and enjoy the quiet life with my people. Favorite Things: Marshmallow loves cozy dog beds and can usually be found curled up snoozing in the softest spot he can find. He enjoys leisurely walks through the neighborhood and absolutely loves snack time. He'll gently and politely take treats from your hand and is happiest in a calm, relaxing environment. Training and Manners: Marshmallow walks nicely on a leash and enjoys getting out for short strolls. He is housetrained when let out regularly and sleeps peacefully in his dog bed at night. He appreciates routines and does best with people who understand and respect his boundaries. Health and Care: Marshmallow has a collapsed trachea, which causes a mild cough, but he does very well as long as he stays at a healthy weight and is always walked using a harness instead of a collar. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and recently had a dental cleaning. Like all dogs, he will need monthly heartworm and flea preventative. Other Animals: Marshmallow does well with calm, laid-back dogs and also doesn't mind feline friends. He prefers peaceful companions who respect his space and relaxed lifestyle. Children: This tiny senior is looking for a home without young children. Teenagers who understand how to interact respectfully with small dogs would be just fine. Ideal Home: Marshmallow would be happy in either an apartment or a single-family home. He's looking for a Chihuahua-savvy family who understands his personality and can appreciate his adorable little quirks. A calm home with comfy spots to nap and people who respect his boundaries will make him feel safe and loved. Overall: Marshmallow is a sweet, spunky little companion who knows exactly how to enjoy the simple things in life. If you're looking for a tiny dog with personality, charm and plenty of cozy cuddle energy on his own terms, Marshmallow may just be your perfect match.
