About Tango

Tango is a unique little Chihuahua, bursting with personality at 9 years old. He’s full of energy, dancing around the yard and showcasing his charming little tongue, which often peeks out. Weighing in at just 4 pounds, he’s the perfect purse-sized companion. While Tango is affectionate, he shows a bit of that classic Chihuahua spice when it comes to putting on a harness, so some training will help him feel more comfortable. He would thrive best as the only pet or with careful management as he prefers a cat-free environment and can be a bit spicy around other dogs. Tango bonds closely with his humans, needing some time to adjust to new surroundings, but he’s a good boy once he settles in. He is trained to use pee pads and go outside, making him relatively reliable. Tango is ready to find his forever home—you might just fall in love with him today!
