About Smiles

Meet Smiles, an 8-year-old Chihuahua who's ready to find his forever home just in time for Halloween. Smiles is a charming little guy at 14 lbs and full of love. With his bat costume on, he’s here to make every day a little brighter. He’s fully housebroken and crate trained, though he'd rather be your shadow, following you everywhere. A car ride? Count him in as the professional passenger. He enjoys walks and playtime, and even chases his own tail! When he’s had enough excitement, he’s all about those cozy couch days, snuggling with his favorite human. Smiles loves being around kids aged 4 and up, but he'd prefer a home without cats. He can get along with dogs, given proper introductions but wouldn't mind being your one and only. He already knows commands like sit, stay, and come. Just call his name, and he's on his way! He dreams of a fenced yard for his little adventures and a loving family to share his life with. Don't let him spend another Halloween alone; this sweet boy is waiting for you! Fostered in Philadelphia, PA. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
