ADOPTED |
AMIGOOur Amigo is a delightful little scrapper, who looks like he could have strutted right off the set of the latest Disney movie. Five years old, Amigo was abandoned by his owner to a high kill animal control shelter, in favor of the new puppy, who apparently did not make a favorable impression on our sweet, little Alpha Stud Muffin. |

Adding a puppy to an adult dog home takes patience, troublshooting, and care to make appropriate introductions. None of that transpired in Amigo's home, and his owner quickly panicked and gave him the boot. His bravado melted in the shelter, confidence gaving way to fear. And so, as soon as we could get our hands on him, we brought Amigo home to give this handsome heartbreaker a shot at a better life. |
| Amigo has been described by Shelter Staff as a Chihuahua mix, and we can see the signature Chi Apple shaped head. Weighing in at 13 pounds, Amigo has a sturdy, muscular physique, as well as ALL the attitude and panache of the Miniature Pinscher....The King of the Toys. Amigo is a huge dog in a peewee package. |

Amigo has a big personality and would do best in the company of a confident, experienced adopter, who can provide the exercise and leadership that Amigo needs to be happy. If left to his own devices, or ignored for too long, Amigo can become rambunctious and get into mischief. Amigo would love to join the active lifestyle of an active single or couple who have some solid small dog experience. He is an energetic companion and would benefit greatly from his adopter's daily walk or run. Amigo would do best in a calm, laid back environment, and would not be the best choice for a busy family with small children. Amigo likes to get his yayas out and then chill out and relax, unfettered by toddler touch. |
| We think Amigo would revel in the attention he would receive as the solo canine occupant in his new home, although he could coexist with another well trained dog, if the adopter has good leadership chops, and can maintain a calm environment. Amigo does have a bit of a Napoleon complex, and he tends to express an opinion around large dogs, so adopters should be aware and keep him controlled in dog parks and on daily leash walks. Sometimes our little Comanchero needs to be protected from himself! Amigo's former owner reported that he lived peacefully with cats. |  |
 |
Amigo has pretty good house manners and is housetrained and crate trained. Adopters should be prepared to troubleshoot the occasional accident that may occur during the transition to a new potty routine. Amigo is an adult dog, who is accustomed to home life, and not destructive in any way that we have observed. |
| Amigo is in excellent health, and has been neutered. He has had a full dental cleaning and his teeth are now in great shape. He has been vaccinated for rabies, DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvo and parainfluenza), bordatella and lyme. He has had the 4dx test, and is negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and anaplasmosis. He has been dewormed, and had a negative fecal test.
