Meet Tooter, who embodies charm in a tiny package! At 6 years old and weighing just 5 pounds, this adorable Chihuahua is hard to resist. He has a gentle demeanor that quickly wins over everyone around him. Tooter may be a bit shy at first due to his petite size, but he’s incredibly sweet and affectionate. He enjoys being held and loves attention, greeting you with wagging tails and joy. Despite his small stature, Tooter gets along beautifully with both dogs and even cats, often making friends with animals much larger than himself. While Tooter loves people, we recommend a home with older children or adults, as his delicate frame might not withstand the enthusiasm of younger kids. He walks nicely on a leash and is food motivated, eager to experience life’s simple pleasures. Whether joining you on a walk or snuggling up on the couch, Tooter is simply happy to be loved. Tooter’s adoption fee is $450, which supports the rescue efforts for other homeless pets. He comes with a leash, collar, bowls, a toy, and food to help him settle into his new home effortlessly.
