Marco is a 2-year-old male Chihuahua mixed breed, small in size. He has a beautiful coat in white/cream and black. Up-to-date on vaccinations and house trained, Marco is ready for a loving home. He is looking for someone who values a relaxed lifestyle and can support him through minor surgery.

About Marco

Meet Marco! This charming little Chi mix, possibly with some Rat Terrier in the mix, is all about relaxation and companionship. If you’re in search of an energetic social butterfly, Marco may not be your guy, but if you want a loyal friend who enjoys simply hanging out, he’s ready to step into the role. Marco is great with kids, house trained, and has an easy-going nature that makes him a delightful friend for quiet nights in. He does have a minor cherry eye that needs surgical correction, but don’t worry—TRU Rescue will cover those costs. Marco just needs a cozy spot and his favorite human to curl up with, along with maybe some control of the Netflix remote. Could Marco be your new best buddy?
