TLC's 'Jet' was rescued over a year ago now and even though this little cutie barely tips the scales at just over 4 pounds, he continues to be overlooked at the rescue shop. We were contacted by a shelter in Pasadena and asked to take this little one. Because he was so small, they knew he'd be in good hands at TLC.
Jet is considered 'mid life' for a chihuahua, as they tend to have very long life spans and have been known to live up to 21 years when well taken care of. But perhaps because Jet is not under the age of 5, he has been passed over time and time again.
Jet has the typical 'chihuahua' attitude that even though he is 4 pounds in body weight, he believes he tops the scales closer to 100 pounds! To those who are endeared to this adorable personality trait, Jet will please. He has no idea that he's a little munchkin and has the attitude to prove it. But make no mistake, he also has an attitude for gratitude and that is why we really want to find this little guy a loving home. If he were on the east coast, he would have been adopted immediately!
Jet gets along with other doggies and LOVES to snuggle. He is what we call an 'undercover chihuahua' because if you give him the opportunity, he will burrow underneath a blankie, all toasty-warm and curl up to sleep. He would LOVE to be somebody's special little guy and sleep with his person.
Jet is a smart cookie and is interested in what is going on around him. He is not a barker, nor a marker, so what he really needs now is just for someone to finally give him a loving home where he can just *belong*.
Did we mention that he looks adorable all dressed up?!?! He is just a little Prince and would be a wonderful companion to a lucky person or family. Due to his small size, he would be a great little purse puppy, perfect size to be a companion for a senior and because he's quiet, he could accompany his family where ever they go! Due to his size, no toddlers who could accidentally fall on him, please.
In this photo above, you can see how tiny he really is! And he's just waiting...waiting...waiting for someone to choose him!!!! He's been so patient and we would really LOVE to see him finally win that loving home he's waited over a year for now.
Here is little Jet pictured by TLC's Levi (who has been adopted). We are hoping Jet is next to be adopted. Levi was also 4 pounds, yet you can see how Jet is even more compact and tiny and those little round features are just perfection!
If you can find it in your heart to welcome just one more widdle one into your home, we are sure Jet would be thrilled to finally belong to someone! His profile can be seen here.
And his video can be seen here.
If you know of anyone who is looking for a little chihuahua with lower energy levels and a sweet personality, please let them know about TLC's Jet!
