PROFILE AND NEEDS IN A HOME
Candy and Latte are a bonded pair of Chihuahuas who are looking for a calm, quiet, loving home together.
Candy is 5-year-old female and Latte is 3 year old male.
They have come from a home where men were not always kind to them so a female only home would be the best fit for this pair, however we would also consider a home with a male provided he was kind, gentle and could let this pair come to him in their own time.
They will both take a little while to warm up to you, so it is important that their new home does not overwhelm them initially and that they be given space to settle into their new environment in their own time. Patience is the key with these two munchkins.
They would benefit from a house with a garden to explore.
Candy is the more tentative one but loves the couch / being on someone’s lap for scratches. She is a bit more nervous but likes to be around people once she has settled and loves to cuddle on the couch.
Latte is smaller but has a great bounce and is more confident of the two and also loves to cuddle on the couch. He loves playing fetch with a ball.
They are both extremely sweet and affectionate, however quite uncertain and fearful initially so that is why it is important that they go to a loving and patient home.
As with all our dogs they must have access inside at all times, be permitted on the furniture for cuddles and sleep inside in a warm area of the home at night (preferably in the bedroom). Their foster carer has been working on their housetraining which is going well however as their new home will be a new environment their new owners will have to set them up to succeed in this regard. Advice can be given if needed.
They walk well on leads and enjoy getting out and about daily on their walks to quieter areas, parks and the like so their new home must be able to continue their daily exercise/outings.
They travel well in the car so are happy to be taken with you when you go out and about.
They are most suited to a home where someone is home more often than not, however can be left home on their own for a few hours.
Candy and Latte maybe be okay in an apartment but would prefer a or house with a nice little yard/ courtyard to potter about in.
Bonus points if you have chihuahua experience as these two cuties are very typical of the breed.
