Speckles

Meet Speckles, a tiny 6-pound, 10-year-old Chihuahua with a big heart and a tough past. Found on the streets, surrendered to our rescue, and sadly abused in his earlier years, this little guy is scared and struggling to trust. After being adopted and returned, Speckles is now safe in a foster home. Speckles needs a calm, loving home with NO kids, ideally with Chihuahua lovers who understand his need for space and patience. He has a bite history, so experienced dog folks are a must.

Despite his past, Speckles loves to cuddle right next to you on the couch and in bed. He will become your little shadow. But don’t be fooled! He is particular about the way he is touched — he likes to be carried but no petting! He gets scared and feisty when touched without his consent, so know that it will take time for him to fully gain your trust.

Treats, toys, and gentle affection are the key to his broken heart! Speckles is fully potty trained and loves going on walks. He may get reactive to other dogs because he gets protective of his person. He also has not shown signs of separation anxiety. Speckles is overall a very good boy who needs a gentle and patient person to love him.
