About Tito’s Breed Mix:
Chihuahuas may be tiny in size, but they’re overflowing with devotion and personality. They form close bonds with their people and love being included in daily life—whether that’s snuggling on the couch or accompanying you on little adventures. With their sensitive, expressive nature and bold little spirits, Chihuahuas are affectionate, alert, and happiest in a calm, loving environment where they feel secure.

Tito’s Story & Personality:
Tito spent the first part of his life on the streets with his brothers, and while he started out shy and unsure, he’s blossoming into a sweet, loving little guy. In his foster home, Tito has learned how comforting it is to be held, petted, and loved. He enjoys being around his humans and is most content when he’s by their side. While he’s still a bit nervous around new dogs, he’s done well with one small dog in his foster home and could thrive with a gentle, calm canine companion after a proper introduction. He’s not yet confident around young kids, so a quieter, adult home (or one with older children) will help him feel safe. Tito is crate trained, working on leash walking, and learning to potty outside. With time, love, and consistency, this tiny sweetheart will continue to bloom into the loyal and affectionate pup he’s meant to be.

Tito’s Perfect Home:



Someone home often to help him feel secure


Quiet, calm environment with older kids or adults only


Fenced yard preferred for safe outdoor time


Either an only dog or with a small, gentle dog buddy after introductions


A patient adopter who can help him build confidence and trust


A loving lap to snuggle in and a cozy place to call home
