About Nacho

Nacho, or Bruno as his foster mom affectionately calls him, is a playful and energetic little guy looking for a forever home. At just 6 months old and weighing only 3 pounds, this double merle Chihuahua has a unique charm that makes him stand out. He lives a happy-go-lucky life despite being born with a couple of challenges, including microophthalmic condition, which means one of his eyes is small and non-functioning, and hydrocephalus. His remarkable spirit shines through as he navigates the world with joy. Since Nacho is a high-energy pup, he loves being involved in every fun activity around him. He does require a physically fenced yard for safety, as he can be susceptible to injuries. Additionally, he is not suited for homes with small children, rambunctious older kids, or large dogs. However, he enjoys playing with other small dogs. Nacho is neutered, fully vaccinated, and his adoption fee helps cover his vetting needs. Can you provide this little one with the loving home he deserves? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
