His personality glows… like a lightbulb!
Ho ho ho, I’m Rudolph! I may not have a glowing red nose, but I’m a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix with a heart that shines bright. Weighing in at 11 pounds, I’m a small package full of love and resilience. I’m a skin cancer survivor and had a successful penile amputation, but that hasn’t dimmed my spirit one bit. My future family will need to keep up with my vet care.
My journey started in Ensenada, Mexico, where I was rescued by Los Adoptables. I’m fully bathroom, house, and good with leash-walking skills. I’m great with other dogs and cats, but I do best with older kids (9+) since younger children can be a bit too much for me. When it comes to humans, I’m very affectionate and loving! I will squeal with excitement when you come home! Because of my pure love of “my people” I can get a little jealous of other dogs and their need for attention. Management in the home will be needed by my adopter to set me up for success!
I’m a low-energy guy who loves sunbathing (with my UV shirt on, of course), playing with gentle dogs of similar size, and snuggling up with my favorite humans. I don’t have any separation anxiety, so I’m okay being left alone, but I’ll be thrilled to see you when you return. I’ve blossomed and learned how to play with other dogs and toys, which is a big milestone for me!
My ideal furever home is a calm and patient environment. I do well when left alone and enjoy my independence, but I also love to snuggle and spend time with my family. A home with older, respectful kids who understand my need for a gentle approach would be perfect.
