My story

🌟 Meet Chico — The 8-Pound King of Cuddles! 🐾 If you’re looking for a pint-sized best friend with a big heart and an even bigger love for snuggles… your search ends here! Chico is an 8-pound Chihuahua full of charm, joy, and “go-with-the-flow” energy. He’s that perfect mix of playful and chill — one minute he’s chasing his favorite toy or zooming around the kitchen, and the next he’s curled up in your lap, melting into a cozy nap. This little guy is a social butterfly! 🦋 He’s friendly with dogs of all sizes, loves kids (even the tiny ones!), and greets new people with calm curiosity and a wagging tail. On walks, Chico is a total gentleman — no pulling, no barking, just an easy stroll with his favorite human. He’s perfectly fine hanging out in his crate while you’re away — as long as he’s got a comfy spot to snuggle up in. But when night comes, Chico votes yes for sharing the room… and double yes if that means cuddling in bed! Now, Chico may not be a trick-training prodigy (he’ll leave the circus acts to others), but he’s mastered the art of being adorable. He knows that looking cute = treats, and he’s very good at it. His foster family says they’ll miss his sweet, expressive nature, his hilarious zoomies, and his happy little wiggles that say, “I love you” louder than words ever could. They laugh watching him pounce on his toys or play hide-and-seek around the kitchen island — he’s entertainment and affection rolled into one tiny package! Chico’s dream day? A nice walk, a few minutes of play, a tasty snack, and hours of cuddling with his favorite people. 💙 If you’re looking for a happy, friendly, endearing companion who’s ready to be everyone’s best friend, Chico can’t wait to meet you! Personality: Happy • Friendly • Playful • Snuggly • Go-with-the-flow • Endearing The adoption fee for Chico is $400. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations. Wish Upon a Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based animal rescue. If you would like to meet Chico please complete our adoption questionnaire at www.wishuponarescue.org/adopt. We will review your responses and be in contact to schedule a meet and greet at a time and place convenient for your family and our team member.

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