Gimli is a 5 year old, 6 lb, chihuahua. He heart worm negative, neutered, up to date on his vaccines as well as his monthly preventative medications.

Gimli is an absolute cutie at 6lbs. He has been in his foster home for two months. He has recently had a breakthrough and has shown what a great dog he can be! When Gimli is comfortable with his people and you have gained his trust, he is a sweet little love bug that loves to cuddle on the couch, play, give kisses, and gobble up some treats.

If Gimli is properly introduced, he loves to make friends. However, he doesn’t like to be approached or touched by unknown people. He has been know to showcase his vocal range in a stirring performance fitting of his diva gremlin nature.

Gimli does occasionally enjoy his own personal space and this should be respected when that’s what he needs. He can show a bit of a Chihuahua-gremlin stereotype, crate training has been helping this in his current foster home. When he trusts you, he is willing to let you gently pick him up. He does not enjoy being unnecessarily handled or carried unless he initiates it.

In Gimli's previous situation, he bonded with one half of a couple more than the other and began resource guarding his preferred person. Gimli's current foster situation is with a couple and with intentional training this has improved! Although Gimli may attach to one person more, he is doing great in a two person home.

Gimli prefers the company of adults and we recommend he go to an adult only home. Gimli does well with other dogs and in a previous home got along with cats. He is capable of being a solo dog or living with fur-siblings.
