About Minnow

Meet Minnow! This little fireball is a big personality in a small package. He's full of energy and absolutely loves to play. While he might not be a pure-bred Chihuahua, his cheeky nature certainly fits the breed's playful spirit. Minnow is cautious with new people and dogs, but once he warms up, he's all in—ready to snuggle and share his silly antics. He thrives with a furry friend who can match his energy, but he prefers companions that aren't assertive or overly challenging. An athlete at heart, Minnow enjoys agility training and impressively zips through the house like a pro. Although he barks at strangers entering his home, he’s not aggressive. He’s getting better with nail trims too, as long as he’s in a hanging harness. While he does have a chill side in the evenings and loves to cuddle during movie time, he’s not yet fully potty trained, requiring a patient adopter to help him learn. He often forgets to go outside when distracted, so consistent guidance and positive reinforcement will help him thrive. If you're active and can provide Minnow with the structure he needs to flourish, he will bring joy to your home. Submit an application if you’d like to learn more about Minnow!
