About Bobby

Meet Bobby, a charming 7.5-pound Chihuahua looking for a loving forever home. He was surrendered after his family faced deportation and now he’s ready to share his affection with a new family. At around 7.5 years old, Bobby still has plenty of love to give, especially since Chihuahuas can live up to 20 years. Bobby adores being carried and giving face kisses. He has a delightful personality and loves toys—his yellow baby shark plushie is a particular favorite. Bobby enjoys car rides and is always up for a little shopping trip. He gets along with small and medium-sized dogs after proper introductions, although he may be a bit intimidated by larger breeds. This little guy is neutered, crate-trained, and potty trained on a schedule. Bobby may have some opinions, and he communicates them with his tiny bark. He’s microchipped and fully vaccinated, making him a wonderful companion for dog-loving owners who understand that he may need some time to adjust to a new environment. Bobby is currently being cared for at our Rescue Ranch near Houston, TX, but can be transported to your area monthly.
