About Papi

Papi is one of six Chihuahua mixes that recently joined the Highland Humane Society after being loved but not fully cared for. At 5 years old, he weighs 23 lbs and is currently on a path to better health, needing to shed some extra weight. Papi has recently left the only home he’s known and is understandably adjusting to new surroundings, which has made him a bit timid and confused. This gentle boy needs patience, love, and a chance to decompress as he learns to trust again. Papi is friendly with other dogs, but due to his past experiences, he might require a little extra time to adapt to new family members, including young children or cats. His true personality will shine through as he begins settling in and feeling secure. If you're looking to make a real difference in a pup's life, Papi is ready to embark on this journey with you. Remember, adopting Papi means embracing an adventure of love and growth. Currently, Papi is unaltered and available through our foster-to-adopt program, meaning you can start your bond with him while he awaits his surgery. Adoption details include a fee of $250.
