Aztec
Aztec, tiny at 7 pounds, so desperately wants to bond with people.
If you sit on the floor, he'll slowly crawl into your lap. But, as the victim of severe abuse, he may panic if you try to pet him. Aztec worries that strangers will try to hurt him again.
We rescued him from another shelter and his progress has been gradual and slow. We believe he adjusts best when another dog is present, so adopting him to a home with a big sister or brother dog is likely ideal.
Aztec is a Longhair Chihuahua, 4 years of age, neutered, and ready for a hero adoption at Nevada SPCA.
