About James

Meet James! This two-year-old Chihuahua, weighing in at 13 pounds, is as adorable as they come with his sweet little face and pointy ears. At first, James can be a bit shy, especially in new environments. When he feels nervous, instead of retreating, he turns to you for reassurance. He's still adjusting to the bustling New York streets, and while the sounds can unsettle him, he's gaining confidence every day. James is a sensitive companion; even a gentle "no" can make him flash those big puppy eyes full of apology. He flourishes in a loving, patient home that can provide the gentle guidance he craves. With his soft nature, he takes treats like a true gentleman, barely lifting them from your hand. A total snuggle bug, James enjoys being close to his humans. During walks, he focuses more on you than surrounding dogs. He gets along well with other pups and would likely benefit from having a playmate at home. Fully potty trained and mostly great on a leash, he may still get startled by loud noises. James seems like a wonderful fit for families, even though he hasn’t met children yet. He’s relaxed, eager to please, and ready to share his heart with the right family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
