Chihuahuas are tiny dogs with bold personalities, known for their loyalty, confidence, and affectionate nature. Despite their small size, they often act like big dogs, making them spirited companions who bond closely with their families. An ideal home for a Chihuahua is one that provides gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of companionship. They thrive in apartments or houses alike, as long as they are kept safe, warm, and not left alone for long periods. Because of their delicate size, they do best in households where interactions—especially with children or other pets—are calm and respectful. With love and patience, Chihuahuas make devoted little companions who bring big personality to any home. All About PBJ: PBJ is the snuggliest little pup, happiest when she’s being held close and showered with love. Like any playful puppy, she plays hard and naps hard, bringing joy and laughter to her foster home. She has a silly streak too—sometimes stealing socks—but it’s all part of her adorable puppy charm and something she’ll likely grow out of. PBJ especially loves tummy rubs and will flop over to show her belly, asking for affection in the cutest way possible. Her name has a special story: her foster mom shared a grilled cheese sandwich with PBJ’s mom, Goldie, as a way to build trust and friendship. From that sweet moment, PBJ got her name.  PBJ’s Highlights: • Sweet and snuggly, loves being held • Playful puppy energy, plays hard and naps hard • Sock stealer, with a mischievous but adorable streak • Affectionate, flops over for belly rubs • Special name story, tied to her mom Goldie’s journey PBJ is ready to find her forever family—a home where she’ll grow up surrounded by love, cuddles, and the joy of being cherished every single day.
