About Sid

Meet Sid, a one-of-a-kind Chihuahua who’s bound to steal your heart. At 2 years old, he’s neutered, vaccinated, and ready for his forever home. Sid weighs 14 pounds and has long legs, making him a larger Chihuahua. He’s a little dancer, too, brightening any room with his unique moves. Sid has come a long way since he arrived at the shelter, slowly learning to trust through baby steps. He does well with female dogs his size but is not fond of cats and prefers female humans over men. Sid would thrive best in a home without small children. If you want to befriend him, be prepared to visit a few times; he’s worth the effort. Once you earn his trust, he loves to cuddle and is a fan of car rides. Still, he’ll need some help with housebreaking. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
