About Dorito
**Dorito (aka "Rito")** is a gentle five-year-old Chihuahua, weighing about nine pounds. He tends to be a bit shy and cautious, especially when meeting new faces or exploring different environments. Therefore, he'll thrive in a patient home that allows him time to settle at his own pace. Once he feels secure, he truly embraces cuddling, relishing the warmth of companionship. Dorito enjoys the indoors, often found relaxing on the couch or engaging in quiet activities. He gets along well with other dogs and can comfortably be around respectful children who understand his need for a little space now and then. This calm little guy is house-trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. He’s treat-motivated and rarely barks. Dorito does well alone, content to spend time on the couch or in his crate while you’re away. His serene demeanor and small size make him a perfect candidate for apartment living. Dorito is looking for a peaceful, loving environment, ideally with someone who can work from home or dedicate time to help him grow confident in his new home. **What his foster says:** "I love how calm Dorito is.
