About Chile

Chile is a fabulous seven-month-old Chi mix currently in foster care in Marfa, TX. This tiny professional snuggler has a big personality! Chile absolutely loves being carried—whether tucked in your arms, riding in a sling, or enjoying a backpack adventure. So relaxed in her cozy perch, she might even nod off while taking in the world. Her philosophy seems to be: why walk when someone can carry you? When she's feeling playful, Chile’s silly side shines. She spins in happy little circles and loves tossing around small, soft toys. Not a big barker, she prefers a soft woof when something piques her curiosity. Incredibly affectionate, Chile thrives on touch and would likely enjoy being around other friendly pets. Currently working on her house training and leash skills, she may fuss in her crate initially but settles down with time. Chile has come a long way since her sad beginnings, revealing an affectionate, curious, and wonderfully silly spirit. She seeks a home filled with love and snuggles, and someone who won’t mind a tiny travel companion along for the ride. Thank you for considering an OTAT-WTX rescue! Every pet comes spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccines. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
