About Taco

Meet Taco, a small yet mighty 5-year-old Chihuahua with a big dog attitude! His fearless personality is something to admire, and he carries himself with plenty of charm. Despite his brave exterior, Taco is the quintessential lap dog and a certified cuddle bug. He loves to either snuggle up close on your legs or press his face against yours when you pick him up. A true blanket burrito at heart, Taco insists on staying physically close to you while he dozes off. Taco is friendly with dogs of all sizes but appreciates his personal space. If another dog gets too close, he may give a little nip to assert his boundaries, though he’s quick to learn and understands corrections well. He’s still figuring out how to play, and while traditional dog toys aren’t his favorite, he happily engages in a game of tug with a sock. Taco shows great potential in home manners. He settles into his crate effortlessly, often choosing to nap there even when you're home. However, if he spots you on the bed or couch, he’ll claim his snuggle time without hesitation. Currently working on potty training, Taco has a habit of marking his territory, but with a consistent routine and some guidance, he's on the path to being fully housebroken. If you’re searching for a brave, loving, and entertaining companion, Taco is ready to meet you! Located in Houston, TX, Taco can be transported to most states for a fee of $300.00.
