About Enzo

Meet Enzo, a charming 4-year-old Chihuahua who’s ready to bring some joy into your life. Having come from a tough background—he was rescued from a hoarding situation—he’s transitioned into foster care and is slowly learning to trust again. His shy demeanor makes him a bit of a timid shadow, especially at first, but as he gets comfortable, he warms up and becomes quite vocal if left alone. Enzo thrives with other dogs and would do best in a home with canines that enjoy playtime. Though he is friendly and gets along with cats, he can be a bit grumbly when he sees them but isn’t aggressive. He enjoys the outdoors and would flourish in a secure, fenced yard where he can romp around safely. While he’s working on house training, he currently uses a belly band indoors. With time and patience, Enzo will make a loving companion full of snuggles and soft toy play. Are you the caring home he’s been waiting for? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
