Breeds: Chihuahua
Tupelo is Now fostering in New England!
Meet Tupelo, a very good dog looking for his forever home.
The thing is, he’s kinda picky and like to take time to get to know people. But once he gets to know you and trusts you, he will be there with his silly ears to make you smile. Then, he will love spending his time cuddling next to you on the couch or having a good game of tug of war. He loves stuffies and chew toys. Though sometimes he thinks those stuffies need to be unstuffed!
He is so good on walks you’ll be impressed! Of course, he’s housebroken and crate-trained, too; as we said, he is a good boy!
I guess the thing you need to understand most about him is that he doesn’t like to be picked up or handled unexpectedly. And please respect his space and approach slowly. Maybe something happened in the past, who knows, but touching Tupelo, other than when he asks for it, makes him uncomfortable. But once your friends, he’ll ask for pick-ups and cuddles a lot, so don’t worry too much.Tupelo loves other dogs and loves to play. His foster mom knows another active dog in his home would make him very happy.
Tupelo is a happy, healthy 4-year-old boy with a funny scrunchy face and crazy ears just waiting for his best friend(s). It could be You!! Apply so you can talk to his foster mom, and she’ll be happy to tell you all about this good boy.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -
Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.
Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.
Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
