Chestnut is a timid Chihuahua mix in urgent need of a caring home. At just one year old, he embodies a mix of anxiousness and sweetness, requiring a patient family who can help him feel safe. His ideal environment is one where he can be introduced to life slowly, gaining trust in both people and his surroundings. This little guy has been at the Kern County Animal Services shelter since August 2026, and his time is critical. He gets along well with other dogs, making him a wonderful addition to a multi-pet household. Although he's not yet altered, he is up to date on vaccinations. Companion Animal Protection Society is working hard to find him a rescue, foster, or forever home. If you're looking to make a real difference in his life, Chestnut is waiting for you.
