Vader

My story

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereVader is a 4-year-old, 6-pound Chihuahua mix with a quiet charm and a unique look. Thanks to some dental issues, he’s rocking a permanent slack jaw that only adds to his endearing personality. He can be a bit shy at first, but with patient, gentle handling and time to go at his own pace, Vader blossoms into a loving, cuddly companion. He’s happiest when snuggled in a blanket, tucked into a sling, or lounging in a cozy spot by your side. He travels well, enjoys his walks, and absolutely appreciates a good meal. Vader gets along well with other dogs and has been thriving in his foster home. Because of some past guarding behavior around laps and handling, Vader will do best with experienced, dog-savvy adopters who are willing to go at his pace. Positive reinforcement can help him continue to build confidence. If you're looking for a small dog with a big personality and you're ready to take things slow, Vader could be a great match. He’s ready to find a calm, loving home where he can relax, snuggle, and be himself. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.June 17, 2025, 8:02 pm
