About Charquito
Charquito is a charming little guy on the lookout for his forever home. This adorable boy is a Chihuahua mix and estimates to be around 2 years old as of September 2026. Weighing in at about 11 lbs, he has a cute, smiley demeanor that is sure to win hearts. Charquito gets along well with other dogs, making him a great companion for a current pet owner. Although he hasn't been introduced to cats or children yet, potential adopters can discuss integration techniques to help him adjust. Currently, he's at a shelter in Puerto Rico, but he's ready for a new life in the DC area. Being a sato—a dog from Puerto Rico—Charquito will need some extra support in adjusting to his new environment. Ideally, he would thrive in a home with a resident dog or adventuring alongside a family who can commit to regular walks, visits to dog parks, or trips to doggie daycare. This young pup is eager to explore the world and all the adventures that come with it. If you're ready for some fun and are prepared to help him learn, Charquito is ready to meet you!
