About Pedro

Pedro is a pint-sized bundle of joy, currently being fostered in the East Bay. Weighing just 5 lbs, this Chihuahua believes he’s a giant in a tiny body, radiating personality wherever he goes. He’s incredibly social and enjoys the company of other dogs, though he prefers slow introductions with much larger pups for some gentle play. Pedro is a sensitive companion. He takes time to warm up to new people, so a patient adopter familiar with building trust is ideal. Sometimes he has his "moody" moments, making it essential for him to have a cozy retreat where he can regroup when needed. He thrives in a dog-friendly environment and would benefit from having a confident canine sibling to help guide him. Pedro enjoys walks and is great on a leash, but he appreciates a home that respects his boundaries and allows him to approach at his own pace. This little guy is a true lap dog who enjoys snuggling under the covers at night. If you are an experienced dog owner with a heart big enough for his quirks, Pedro could be your perfect match!
