About Chico Meeko

Meet Chico Meeko! This affectionate 1-year-old Chihuahua mix weighs in at 10 lbs and has a personality that's anything but small. He loves cuddling, going on adventures, and indulging in some quality chill time with his human. Currently working on his potty training, Chico has mastered crate training and wears a belly band without issue. He’s undergoing a board and train program, picking up skills like heel on leash, place/stay, and recall. A playful soul, he enjoys toys and can share his space with both dogs and cats. While he prefers to eat in his crate to avoid sharing meals, don’t let that fool you—he's eager for love and companionship. Thunderstorms make him a bit nervous, but a supportive buddy by his side can help him weather any storm. Chico would thrive in an adult-only home or with older kids where he can receive structure and routine. He’s an enthusiastic little guy looking for a family to continue his training and keep up with his spirited nature.
