About Bourbon

Meet Bourbon, a charming little Chihuahua born on June 28, 2026. Weighing in at just about 5 pounds, he stands out as the biggest of his litter. Bourbon is full of personality—playful, affectionate, and enthusiastic, especially when it comes to mealtime. Food is serious business for him! Currently, he's mastering puppy basics like potty training and navigating stairs, although leash walking is still in the works. Recognizing the novelty of his collar, he tends to think it’s just another chew toy to play with. Given his size now, he may grow into a larger Chihuahua, possibly around 8-10 pounds when fully grown. Bourbon is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. He’s also been dewormed and is on appropriate flea and heartworm preventatives. If you're in the Bloomington, IL area, we encourage you to apply to bring this happy little guy into your home. Remember, you must be 21 or older to apply, and your current pets should be up-to-date on their vaccines. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
