Firulais | 2-3 Year Old Chihuahua Mix | Spunky Little Snugglebug
Firulais - affectionately called "Frito Lay" by his foster mom - is a 20-pound tan Chihuahua mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for his people. This confident, cuddly guy was found as a stray and has quickly proven himself to be an easy, affectionate companion. He loves burrowing under the covers, showing off his belly for rubs, and riding along in a backpack like your tiny sidekick.
He's almost fully house trained and does best on a consistent routine - especially being taken out shortly after meals. He's great in his kennel, can be left alone for 4-6 hours, and settles in easily with a treat toy (though he may give a dramatic little bark if he hears something). He has a medium energy level, enjoys walks, toys, and fetch, and can pull slightly on leash.
Firulais does well with other dogs, especially off leash, and may be okay with dog-savvy cats. He loves all people and thrives on attention, though he can be a little jumpy when excited. He responds well to structure and is eager to please.
Firulais is currently heartworm positive, which is not contagious, and his treatment will be fully covered by Animal Rescue of the Rockies. During treatment, he'll need to stick to short, calm walks and a low-activity lifestyle. Once complete, he's expected to live a normal, happy life.
If you're looking for a fun, snuggly companion with a quirky, lovable personality, Firulais is your guy.

If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
