ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 12-14 lbs
ESTIMATED AGE: 3 years
KNOWN WITH DOGS: Lennox is good with other dogs but mostly ignores them. Will sometimes bark at bigger dogs while out walking - but hey, that's what Chihuahuas do!
KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not know at this time
KNOWN WITH KIDS: He was given to the shelter after a child in the family was known to pick on him - smacking and pulling - so we do not suggest Lennox for young children as he will likely show some fear of them given his past abuse. So far he has shown nothing but friendly, outgoing behavior to all he meets, but we want to set him up for success!
KNOWN COMMANDS: Still learning but knows what "go outside means! We think he's some more under his belt but we're still getting to know him.
KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: He is housebroken. He did mark once in the home when he arrived but has not done so since.
KNOWN LIKES: He likes to give kisses, go on walks, cuddle and be cute.
KNOWN DISLIKES: Children pulling on him - so he will be best with adults or kids over 10 years of age.
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: This adorably guy rides really well in the car, walks well on leash and is a well-behaved boy indoors. He can be a bit barky when seeing new people or dogs or around doorbell so he may be better suited for a house vs. apartment. He's a very cute, friendly dude who was not treated well in his previous home by a child so he deserves to have a place where he can be himself and not live in fear. He's a great little guy!!
