About Courtesy Listing Dogs Needing

Julian is a remarkable little Chihuahua with a heartwarming story. Rescued from an abusive situation, he was found dragging a leash and in a desperate state. Since then, he's transformed into a loving and playful companion, displaying a spirit that's both gentle and wise. At around 4 years old, Julian is neutered and vaccinated, making him a ready-to-adopt friend. While he still has some anxiety about wearing a leash and doesn't do well if left alone for extended periods, he’s eager to learn. Julian deserves a patient guardian who can guide him on his journey to confidence, helping him to walk beside you freely. His left eye may have a congenital “cherry eye” condition, but it doesn't hinder his ability to find toys in the yard. He's house trained and ready to become part of a caring family. If you're interested in making Julian part of your life, please call (530) 272-3944.
