Fabio is a 7 lb, 3-4 year old chihuahua boy who was initially very shy in his foster home. while Fabio requires very slow movements and gentle touch, he is starting to come around and gets excited when his foster family comes home. He is such a love bug once he warms up. All he really wants is someone to cuddle with at all times. He truly is the sweetest velcro dog you will ever meet. You could literally bring him anywhere. We have come to find out that Fabio is spanish speaking!! He was so excited the first time we talked to him in spanish. Fabio is potty trained completely. We have only heard him bark 2x in the time we have had him. He is a quiet little guy, you might even forget hes there at times ;). Fabio does well with other
small dogs and cats as long as they mind their own business. He also does well with children as long as they do not startle him.  He is such a special pup. Could you be him forever cuddle buddy??

Fabio will do best in a quiet home with older (13+) or no kids - including visiting grandkids.
