Preston

Preston / M / 2Y / 10lbs / Chihuahua mix / Fostered in Hamilton Preston’s fosters describe him as “such a sweet and gentle little guy.” He loves his people, he’s cuddly and affectionate, but can also be chill and relaxed. He loves being close to his humans and snuggling, getting pets and belly rubs, going on walks, hanging in the yard and sleeping. And his foster says he hilariously “has moments where he gets excited and hops around like a kangaroo.” For a chihuahua, Preston’s fosters say he’s pretty quiet and doesn’t bark that much. He is doing well with his house training (but be prepared for some accidents at first). He does well in his crate and will go in there while his foster mom works during the day. He’s known to cry a bit when he's left alone in it but does settle. Like a true protector, Preston can get a little guarded when he sees squirrels or dogs and people passing on walks, but he’s easily redirected when he hears his name called. Because he’s low to medium energy, Preston enjoys three walks a day that range from 15 to 45 minutes in length. Preston is good when meeting new people but does take longer to warm up to men. He is a bit of a ladies man though and will ask for lots of pets and belly rubs from women. He would be fine with dog-savvy kids and he is good with other dogs. He has not been tested with cats. He would be a great companion dog for anyone who wants a little shadow following them around wanting to be beside them and cuddling on their lap. He would love a family who is home often to give him lots of attention. If you are interested in adopting Preston, please complete an adoption application on our website.
