Meet Stuart!
He is an 8 month old Chihuahua mix who will need a VERY special forever home!
Stuart comes from a family of feral chihuahua mixes who we are catching- he is the little boy in the family. So his interactions with people have mostly been "humans feed me. And that's it. He was able to be trapped in a dog pen outside with his sister back in mid August and he has slowly been introduced to pets and being held. He just entered a foster home to learn other good things and to have his foster siblings teach him how great people are! He will snuggle at night with his human family and he loves to take treats from them, but humans are scary when standing up and walking around. He just isn't sure what we will do!
He will need a forever family who is very patient and understands that he will probably always be wary of strangers and will probably be a "one family only type of dog.
He will need a yard which is securely fenced in for a dog his size (he is 20 pounds). And Stuart will need a doggy companion in his home to learn from. We have found that this is the best way to teach a human skittish dog that people are good and they also help with housetraining. He does well in a crate and he is learning about leash training.
Does Stuart sound like he right little guy for you? Can you give Stuart the perfect forever home?
