Meet Papi

All about Papi
Animal ID: 2000402089

Papi is a 4 years old male Short Coat Chihuahua/Mix who weighs 9 pounds.

Meet Papi! Named after the charming chihuahua from "Beverly Hills Chihuahua", this little guy has plenty of personality packed into his tiny frame. Found as a stray, not much is known about his past, but Papi has quickly shown everyone that he's a confident, social boy who loves being the center of attention.

Papi is all about affection. He'll happily pop his paws onto your lap and gently push his head into your hands to ask for more pets. Like his movie namesake, he can get pretty excited and isn't shy about sharing his big feelings! Papi is also super playful and enjoys spending time chasing toys, exploring new places and running around outside.

Papi does display quite significant resource guarding behaviours around food and high-value items, so he'll need an experienced adult home (no small children) that can help him work on this and respect his space. He also has a strong prey drive and would do best in a home without small animals. His history with other dogs is limited, but he may be able to live with one after a successful introduction at the shelter!

If you are looking to add some flavour to your life and are prepared to navigate some of his quirks, Papi could be the pup for you!

Papi is:
- open to older kids (13+)
- no cats or small animals
- open to dogs with intro, limited history
