I'm Dewey, the sweetest pup you'll ever meet! I absolutely love sitting on your lap, following you around the house and yard, and snuggling up in bed with you. I'm all about being close to my humans and sharing lots of love. I came from a family on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation after a tough encounter with another dog left me with some pretty bad bites on my back leg. But don't worryI'm all healed up now and ready to start my next adventure! As a typical Chihuahua, I'm super sweet but can show a bit of my spicy side too. I get along well with female dogs, but I like to be the boss around other males. I might be okay with male dogs my size, but I've got a thing about putting larger male dogs in their place. I once faced off with a dog 90 pounds heavier than me and made sure he knew who was in charge! I also have a similar attitude towards two-legged male creatures. I love the ladies, but I have no problem showing the guys who's boss. Kids? I adore them! Chasing them around the yard and giving them wet kisses is the best. I also ride great in the car and make an excellent captain on the pontoon. On our way up to the cabin, I was a bit anxious, but by the trip home, I was just fine. I had no fear out on the lake, enjoying the views and soaking up the warm sun. I should mention, I'm probably not the best fit for an apartment or townhome. I can get quite vocal when left in my crate while you're gone. I wouldn't want to cause any eviction notices! But, I do much better if you leave me with a kong filled with frozen peanut butterthat's one of my favorite treats. As for potty training, I'm pretty good when the weather is nice, but rain is a different story. Like many small dogs, I'm not a fan of getting wet, so I might try to sneak away to do my business inside. But, I'm usually right by your side, so you'll probably catch on quickly if I'm up to something. If you think this adorable little nugget would be a perfect fit for your family, submit an application! I can't wait to meet you and shower you with love. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption. The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Application prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org. You can also access the necessary online adoption application here as well. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional's recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal's history is often unknown.
