About Little Guy

Little Guy was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on October 3, 2026. This small Chihuahua may be a bit shy, but he has a lot of charm to share with an understanding family. The world can feel overwhelming, so he’s looking for patient people to help him take things step by step. He enjoys socializing with other dogs and finds joy in tasty treats and gentle playtime. Currently, he’s learning how to walk on a leash and would thrive in a calm home with a secure yard for potty breaks and fresh air. A household with children aged 6 and older who can give him space while he adjusts will be a perfect fit. With time, positive reinforcement, and plenty of yummy snacks, Little Guy is ready to become a wonderful companion. He has already been vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. Give Little Guy the chance he deserves—adopt him today!
