About Thiago

Thiago is a 5-year-old Chiweenie, who was rescued from a hoarding situation in Puerto Rico, where he lived among about 40 other dogs. Because of his past, he’s on the shy side and needs a patient human to help him find his footing in everyday life. Despite his reserved nature, Thiago is a sweet dog who has been treated for heartworms and is now ready for his forever home in NYC. Living in the city can be an adjustment for him, and he’ll need to be eased into a new environment. He thrives with daily walks and socialization opportunities to help him feel comfortable. His ideal family will understand that it may take time for him to fully adapt. Thiago is neutered, house trained, and up to date on vaccinations. He has the potential to get along with both dogs and children, as long as interactions are supervised. For an adopter looking for a gentle companion with a good heart, Thiago might just be the perfect match. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
