About Rigo

Meet Rigo! Rigo is a charming 5-year-old Chihuahua mix with a sweet, cuddly personality just waiting to shine. He may be a bit shy when you first meet him, but once he warms up, expect lots of affectionate kisses! Rigo enjoys cuddling, shadowing his favorite person, and going for walks. He's friendly with small dogs and has a healthy appetite. Currently, he’s at the hospital while we look for a foster or forever home, so we haven’t assessed his potty habits in a typical home setting yet. This lovable boy is eager to leave his hospital stay for a cozy home where he can snuggle up on a warm lap and finally have someone to call his own. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
