About Shy

Shy is a charming Chihuahua Mix, around 2-3 years old and weighing about 8 lbs. He arrived in Colorado with a group of small dogs rescued from a hoarding situation in Texas. Initially frightened, Shy quickly began to display his sweet nature. He gets along well with both big and small dogs, enjoying playtime and companionship. New people may take time to win his trust, so a gentle, patient human or family would be ideal for him. Shy showed his true goofy personality in just a few days in his foster home, which bodes well for his future. Future adopters should be prepared to provide the same kind patience Shy has experienced before he reveals his loyal and affectionate side. We believe Shy would thrive in a home with another dog, as he learns and flourishes from their presence. Once he feels secure, he will prove to be an incredibly snuggly little companion. This precious guy has so much love to share, and now that he’s finding his footing, he’s ready to spread the joy! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
