Chihuahua


Wilky and Porter, and Miah from Chihuahua Rescue.org
The tiny Chihuahua offers you two blends; short-haired or long-haired, and both would rather be amongst themselves and the only dog in town. They are an inside pet, and could fall prey to nature’s predators. They can be temperamental to anyone other than their owner, and may not be a good companion for small children. Very low maintenance in exercise and grooming.
