This is Slinky, a handsome little Chihuahua whose name suits him perfectly. Like a slinky, he may start off a little cautious and unsure, but once he gets moving, he quickly bounces into your heart. Slinky can be scared and timid in new situations, yet he has a friendly nature and a clear desire to interact with people. Even when he's feeling nervous, he'll often approach you in his pen to investigate and say hello on his own terms.

Once Slinky has had a few positive interactions with you, he forms strong bonds incredibly quickly. This little guy is a true velcro dog who loves being close to his people. Before long, you'll find him following you from room to room, keeping a watchful eye on your every move and eagerly jumping up onto your lap whenever the opportunity arises. Human companionship is his favourite thing, and he'd thrive in a home where someone is around for much of the day.

Slinky could happily live as an only dog, provided he has plenty of human company and affection. He may also enjoy sharing his home with a calm, friendly small female dog who can offer companionship and let him do his own thing. He walks on lead but will benefit from further practice and encouragement as he continues to build confidence out in the world. He is also comfortable being picked up and handled, making him an easy little companion to care for.

Slinky isn't a big eater and can be a bit picky with his food. He is not yet fully house trained and will need continued guidance, routine and positive reinforcement in his new home. With ongoing confidence-building and socialisation, Slinky is sure to flourish. Apply Now for the opportunity to meet the super Slinky.
