Chewy

My story

Meet Chewy, a 2 year old Chihuahua mix, weighing about 15 pounds. He was found as a stray and never reclaimed, so now he is looking for a forever home! Chewy is very nervous and was mortified when he first came to us. He has made tremendous strides, though, and now enjoys pets and hanging out with his people. Chewy will need patience as he adjusts and gets to know you, and starts to trust. Fast movements can spook him, but we have made lots of progress as far as leashing/unleashing and petting. Chewy has met a few similar sized dogs and done okay. He does tend to match the energy of the other dogs, so if the other dog isn’t a fan, neither is Chewy. He doesn’t seem interested in playing with the dogs their dogs, mostly just coexisting around them. We are hoping with time and patience in a home, he will blossom! Chewy is looking for a home without children. It would be beneficial for an adopter to have experience with nervous dogs or finicky chihuahuas.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Chewy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
