Tater Tot's ideal home:

  • Is with Sheba (bonded)

  • Securely fenced yard

Tater Tot is a tricolored Chihuahua mix. He's 9 years old and about 17 lbs. He's neutered, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines and monthly prevention. Tater Tot and sister Sheba are bonded and must be adopted together.


Tater Tot and Sheba are adjusting to a whole new life away from everything they've ever known. They're new to city living and still adjusting to unexpected noises and movement from cars, scooters, and bikes. They're also prone to barking at the dogs and people who pass them while they're out walking.


Speaking of walking, they LOVE going on walks and exploring the yard. They're happy to go potty while out walking but can be distracted by other dogs and people. As they're adjusting to a whole new life, they'd do best in a home with a securely fenced yard. They're happy to potty out on walks or in the yard, they must be supervised as they're flight risks, yes even in a fenced yard. These intrepid explorers will make their way out of a yard to continue their adventure.


Before they went to their foster, Tater Tot and Sheba stayed the weekend with a temporary foster. That temporary foster had cats and Byron, another Fawn's foster. They were cat curious and even tried to play with them, they wisely took the hint when the cats ignored them. They could likely be placed in a home with dog-savvy cats. They also realized that Byron wasn't interested in playing with them and gave him space.


Tater Tot is an inquisitive gentleman with a calm energy about him. Like many Chihuahuas he needs slow introductions to new people and noisy environments. While he can be skittish at first, if you give him space then he'll warm up you to you. Once he's decided that you're his people, he'll happily follow you around. He likes to give surprise water quality inspections. Water coming out of the hose must be sampled, if you've come out of the shower, he'll lick your leg to confirm the indoor water quality. He's a gentleman that way.


Tater Tot is a good boy, he's more reserved than Sheba and can be a bit needier. They're typical siblings, they play, they fight, and they hangout. When it comes to food, they must be fed separately as they'll growl and fuss at each other. This may change over time as they're reminded that food isn't a limited commodity and there's plenty to go around. This heart melting duo is ready for their fur-ever home, with plenty of food and love to go around.


Tater Tot and Sheba are ready for their fur-ever family and must be adopted together. These inquisitive siblings need a securely fenced yard and supervision while they go out to do their business. They did fine coexisting with a smaller dog and cats in their temp foster home. They gave Byron and the cats space once they realized neither wanted to play with them. They haven't met any kids, it's likely they'd be okay with respectful teens who understand that they'll need space and time to adjust.
