Hi, I’m Poke!
I’m a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix. Some say I'm a short, spunky guy with a big heart and even bigger hops—seriously, I can jump really high!
Life wasn’t always easy for me; before I was rescued, people tried to chase and grab me, so I learned to be a little cautious, especially around men. I might bark a bit when I meet new folks, but I promise I’m not aggressive—just trying to figure out if you’re one of the good ones (which I hope you are!).
Once I trust you, I’m all in. You can touch my paws, tail, belly, even clean my ears—I’m cool with it all. I’m not a huge fan of being picked up, but I do love belly rubs, squeaky toys, and a good game of fetch! I’m super energetic, athletic, and always up for fun.
I get along great with other dogs and would thrive as a furry sibling—as long as your pup is friendly and doesn’t mind me being a little up-close-and-personal. I don’t always know about personal space, but it’s just because I have so much love to give. I'd do well with a cat sibling too! I love friends.
I’m not picky with food (I love food, so I'm sure I'd love learning tricks and manners!). I adore attention, and I’m really hoping for a forever family who will see what a gem I am. Could that be you? Apply to adopt me today!
