Meet TJ! TJ is a 3-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 4.3 pounds, but this tiny guy has a heart full of love just waiting for the right person to discover it. TJ gets along well with other dogs, especially those his own size. Larger dogs can be a little intimidating for him, so he'd be happiest in a home with small canine companions or as your one-and-only little shadow. He enjoys playing with other small dogs but also appreciates having his own quiet space.A naturally shy boy, TJ needs a patient adopter who will give him time to build trust and confidence. Once he feels safe, his sweet personality begins to shine. He's crate trained and prefers to sleep in his cozy crate, but don't be surprised when he comes looking for snuggles once you've earned his trust.TJ is currently working on his house training and is making great progress. He's also undergoing treatment for Lyme disease and is doing wonderfully. He is not showing any symptoms and it does not slow him down. We don't know what this tiny little guy experienced before coming into rescue, but we do know his future deserves to be filled with love, kindness, and security. TJ is looking for a special person who will help him continue building confidence and show him what it truly means to be part of a family.TJ is up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and fully vetted, making him ready to find his forever home. If you have room in your heart for a little dog who just needs someone to believe in him, TJ is waiting to meet you.
