About Samuel

Meet Samuel, the lovely Chihuahua with a personality to match his looks. At around 10 years old, this tiny guy has a rich history, originally hailing from Mexico before finding his way to Pattie's Waggin' Tails after his owner transitioned to assisted living. Samuel, weighing about 9 to 10 pounds, is a bundle of charm and occasional spiciness. His past vet records hinted at a bit of feistiness, noting he sometimes needed a muzzle for exams. But don't let that deter you; it’s all part of his unique character. He’s affectionate and requires someone fluent in Chihuahua to understand the subtleties of his demeanor. A little growl? Just part of his charm. Once you earn his trust, you’ll find a special companion in Samuel. He’s adjusting well to sanctuary life, revealing his sweeter side all the time. If you think you understand him, he might just be the one for you. P.S. Be prepared; we’re already a bit obsessed with this charmer! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
