Royal is a 6-year-old, 10 lb Chihuahua seeking a patient and understanding home. He feels most comfortable in a calm environment and needs time to trust people. If he feels overwhelmed, he may bite, especially if someone tries to pick him up or handle him when he’s asking for space. Building that trust will take time and understanding. His new family should respect his body language and use positive-reinforcement training to help him feel safe. Royal enjoys the company of other dogs and would love to share a dog bed with a calm canine companion. Because he’s sensitive and has a bite risk, a quiet, low-traffic home is essential, ideally with adults only or older children who respect his boundaries. He’s not a fit for busy households or families looking for an instantly cuddly companion. If you have the experience and patience to help a fearful dog like Royal, he deserves a chance to thrive with you.
