Chico the Chihuahua Is Adoptable: It’s the Most ‘Wonderfall’ Time of the Year
Picture it: Autumn equinox, 2025. You’re ordering matching sweaters for Chico, your new Chihuahua BFF, and yourself. Life is gourd!
But life for Chico wasn’t always souper. When fieldworkers encountered the tan Chi, he was tied to a trampoline with barely 2 feet of tangled tether to move, half-starved, and without water.
Initially, Chico’s crabapple owner refused to allow PETA to take custody of the emaciated dog. In a county lacking helpful ordinances and where animal control is slow to respond on the best of days, fieldworkers got real serious real quick about Chico’s seriously neglectful predicament: There was no world in which PETA would leaf this 👇 little guy hanging!
Thankfully, Chico’s owner finally agreed to let PETA find a truly loving, safe home for the deserving dog.
In foster care, Chico was quick to turn over a new leaf. (Isn’t it amaizeing what proper food and love will do?) His foster guardian reports that the demure dude is “the best kind of friend” and “full of heart.” He loves treats, especially the pumpkin variety. (How fitting.) Chico wasted no time in becoming his foster guardian’s shadow, and PETA believes the Chihuahua would be gratefall for a confident canine sibling who could teach him the ropes. He’s already made fast friends with his foster feline companions! Chico is roughly 3 years old and 8 pounds, and he will be neutered and fully vaccinated before adoption. PETA fieldworkers will transport the gourdgeous guy to his new home via autumnmobile, so any and all East Coast applicants are welcome to shoot their shot!
Are You the Pick of the Patch?
Just in time for the first day of fall, PETA is officially in search of Chico’s sweater half! If you’re ready to live appley ever after with this sweet Chi, send [email protected] an e-mail worthy of a round of appleause.
