About Chocolate

Meet Chocolate! He’s a 9-month-old Chihuahua, weighing around 12 pounds, and he’s searching for a very patient forever home. Chocolate came into rescue with his brother, Rocky, after lacking socialization in his previous environment. As a result, he is a bit shy and needs some time to build trust. His future family must be understanding and give him the space he needs to learn that people can be trusted. A securely fenced yard is necessary for Chocolate, as he thrives when he can explore safely. When he starts to trust you, Chocolate transforms into a cuddly companion, loving to snuggle on the couch and shower you with kisses. He also enjoys spending time outdoors, running and soaking up the sun. Chocolate is crate trained and house trained, and all his vaccinations are up to date. He is also scheduled to be neutered and microchipped. Chocolate deserves a family that sees beyond his fears, recognizing the sweet and loving boy he is becoming. If you can be patient and allow him to blossom at his own pace, he may just be the perfect little companion you’ve been waiting for. His adoption fee is $300. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
