Pet Information

Pee Wee was rescued from the Baldwin Park shelter 5 weeks after his owner surrendered him to this high/open intake shelter, through no fault of his own.  He was understandably overwhelmed and a little shy at the shelter, but to UHA volunteers who have taken him out for walks and play time, Pee Wee is just adorable, in looks and spirit.  So, when Pee Wee became the longest small breed resident at the shelter, we just had to make sure this little darling is safe and get him out!

Pee Wee is an adorable fawn/brindle 5-year-old neutered male Chihuahua mix with heart-melting hazel eyes.  Weighing 8 lbs, Pee Wee lives up to his name - he is so small and cute!  He has a lovely calm, medium energy - he enjoys being held or cuddling up next to his human while watching TV or taking a nap - a total lapdog.  His tail won't stop wagging when he gets tummy rubs (check out his adorable videos). 

Pee Wee always got along with different kennel mates while at the shelter, and in his foster's home, Pee Wee adjusted seamlessly to his foster dog siblings, becoming instant buddies to other small dogs.  He knows his manners around other dogs, he doesn't fight over food or toys, though he does enjoy his meal times and treats, and playing with stuffed toys or chasing squeaky tennis balls. 

Sweet Pee Wee deserves a his loving forever home and will be a lovely addition to any home in any type of household (though if it’s a house with small children, you’ll want to teach them how to respect his small size and tender nature).  Be sure to check out his photos and videos and contact his foster mom for more information or to meet him.
