About Papi

Meet Papi, an adorable 2-year-old Chihuahua weighing in at just 8 pounds. He’s chock-full of personality and charm, with a bit of that classic Chihuahua sass. Papi is looking for a fresh start, having been loved but needing a more dedicated environment due to his owner’s busy life filled with children and school commitments. Papi warms up slowly, especially around newcomers. He’ll likely need patient, gradual introductions to new people and pets. Surprisingly, Papi adores the kids in his life, showcasing a softer side beneath his feisty exterior. Currently, he’s crate trained, but his house training is still in progress, so he’ll thrive with someone ready to provide routine and consistency. Before adopting, you'll find him up-to-date on vaccinations and microchipped. He’s also neutered. If there are any health concerns, like heartworm, the rescue will take care of treatment. A Chihuahua-savvy owner would be ideal for Papi; someone who understands that he may need time to build trust. If you’re ready for a fluffy little companion who brings character and spirit, Papi may be your perfect sidekick. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
