About Brutus

Brutus is a young male Chihuahua, only about a year and a month old. This little guy is incredibly sweet and has a real fondness for people. However, he is understandably a bit nervous in his current environment at the rescue. You might notice him trembling as he adjusts, and when he encounters something or someone unfamiliar, he may bark and retreat. But once he warms up to you, he’s a loyal companion who will stay by your side. He’s friendly with both cats and dogs, and while he enjoys giving kisses, he modulates that affection. Brutus is fully house trained and prefers to do his business outdoors, showing that he appreciates a good routine. He’s looking for a patient and loving home where he can truly thrive. Brutus is waiting for his forever home in Dover, AR. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
