About Ford

Ford is a charming 6-month-old male Chihuahua mix weighing just 7 pounds. He and his brother Chevy are looking for understanding adopters who know that building trust takes time and care. These little guys came to the shelter with minimal socialization. Ford, being the more outgoing of the two, shows a bit more curiosity towards people, while Chevy tends to be more reserved and cautious. Both will need a quiet adult home where they can feel safe and learn at their own pace. Their ideal adopters will recognize that patience is key. They won’t rush into snuggles or playtime. Instead, gentle introductions and respect for their space will help Ford and Chevy come out of their shells. A tasty piece of cheese can be a great motivator for them! Understanding their behavior means knowing that they might take breaks during initial interactions. With love and compassion, Ford and Chevy will learn to thrive in a nurturing environment. If you can provide that kind of home, come meet them during our walk-in adoption hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12-4 PM. Click apply to start the adoption process.
