A4807436 MR is a spiffy 6-year-old tricolor male Chihuahua and Rat Terrier mix who came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center as an owner surrender on March 13th for no known reason. Weighing 13 lbs, MR is nothing less than eager to please and adorable. Like so many dogs, however, he is anxious and fearful in the noisy, impersonal shelter environment—perhaps because he misses both his family and his familiar, known home. He showed us that he’s great with other dogs his size, acting quite gentlemanly in meeting them; and that he likes being held and carried, probably because he gets reassurance from those human arms and feels loved (can’t argue with that!). He shows signs of being housebroken, walks just great on leash, and is inquisitive and desirous of being someone’s little fellow. His energy level in the shelter is lowish, but we feel pretty confident that he’ll blossom into a less-guarded and more-confident boy once he’s out of the shelter and in his forever family. The best situation for MR would likely be as an indoor pet and companion in the home of an individual or family who appreciates the pleasures of a middle-aged guy who likes walks and other, medium-keyed activities. We think he’ll be a great fellow for holding down his end of the couch during TV watching too.
