Chihuahua Mix

Rocco is a 1- to 2-year old tan chihuahua mix with a white stripe on his snout and a white patch on his neck who is in very good condition. He's been with his foster family for about two weeks and is a happy little fellow, fitting right into the family. This spunky little guy is a joy -- he's housebroken, polite, cuddly, likes to sleep under the covers, and trots right at the heels of his humans wherever they go. Rocco is mighty small--topping out at just a bit over 6 pounds--but he's a little powerhouse and can hold his own with his foster family's 35 lb brittany and 75 lb lab/catahoula mix. The fact that he's so friendly, heartworm negative, and in such all-around great shape suggests that he had a loving home before Katrina struck. If he can't be reunited with his New Orleans family, we can attest to the fact that he'll be a delightful addition to someone else's home! He gets along great with kids, but can be a bit of a jumper and might startle very young children with his exuberance.
