About Chili

Chili is a small Chihuahua with a warm heart waiting for a patient, loving home. Rescued from a challenging background, he was surrendered alongside a senior dog who has since found a new family. Initially, Chili was terrified and struggled to find his footing, making him at risk of euthanasia. While he still takes time to warm up to people, he shows great promise. With gentle interactions, he is beginning to show trust and affection. Chili thrives with smaller dog companions and enjoys their company. He has already mastered potty training and loves his cozy crate time. Though he may not be ready to be picked up just yet, he’s gradually revealing his clever, spunky side and becoming more curious and brave each day. The right home for Chili will provide the understanding he needs, allowing him to blossom into a confident and affectionate companion. Chili will arrive in Seattle on 08/13 after being transported from California. He's ready for a family that will watch him grow and transform. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
