I am Mr. Knuckles, Knuckie for short. I am a
four year old , six pound little guy. I came
with this name, and supposedly I was given it because of
my "black eye," like I got hit with knuckles. I
wouldn't mind a new name along with my new home! I'm
way cuter in person, too. I have a pretty severe overbite
but it doesn't cause any problems. Right now my legs are
weak and I need lots of exercise(running in a fenced yard)
and long walks to build them up. Too much crate time in my
other home.
When the other dogs get under the covers and start moving
around, I bark at them. It's a little scary; I always
think it might be a monster and not just them. I get along
well with everyone here, but I'm easily intimidated and
need a little companion who won't bully me.
Toys are something I never had before, and I don't
understand what to do with them, but I'm learning how to
play. I never had any playmates, either.
I can't jump up on the furniture, so I need steps, or
you'll have to pick me up. And then, of course, you don't
want to leave me stranded on the sofa, because that's how
we little guys break legs when we jump off.
I've got this housebreaking thing mastered. I use puppy
pads and also go outside. I'm very shy at first and need
someone who is patient with me and is aware that I'm just
learning things that other dogs learned as puppies. Are
you that person? I don't think I'd do well at all
with children -- too many quick movements, shrill voices,
and loud noises. I'd like a quiet home with adults who
will love me forever, and if they aren't home most of the
time, I need a little Chi companion. I also need
that fenced yard. I can go for walks, but because I'm not
used to it and I'm shy, a fenced yard will allow me to
roam around a little, explore, and play safely. I need a
lot of that!
If you think you have the right home for me, please
complete an adoption application on our website and then
email MidwestCoordinator@chihuahua-rescue.com
to let her know. I'll be waiting! You must live in
