My story

Meet Tater Tot At just under a year old and about 11 pounds, Tater Tot is a sweet, unique little guy with so much love to give. With his adorable underbite and soulful eyes, he’s as cute as his name suggests—but it’s his gentle, affectionate nature that truly steals hearts. Tater Tot had a rough start. He was found abandoned in Texas alongside a large group of dogs, but despite everything he’s been through, his loving spirit has never wavered. Since being rescued, he’s done wonderfully with other dogs and has shown just how resilient and kind he is. He can be a little shy at first—especially with men—as he takes in new sights and sounds, but give him a bit of time and patience, and he quickly blossoms into a devoted, snuggly companion who just wants to be close to his people. Tater Tot is well on his way with potty training. He understands that outside is the goal and will also use pee pads when needed—he just needs a consistent routine to help him fully master it. He’s a smart, eager-to-please pup who is already making great progress in foster care. He does have some resource guarding tendencies with food and attention, so he’ll need an adopter who can continue guiding him with structure and positive reinforcement. He’s learning quickly and has already started to play and coexist nicely with other dogs when food isn’t involved. Tater Tot could thrive as an only dog, soaking up all the love, or in a home with other dogs and a committed adopter to help him keep building positive habits. This energetic little guy would do best with an active family who can provide regular exercise, playtime, and either a fenced yard or frequent walks. He’s still working on leash skills but improves every day. Currently in a foster home in Southern Ontario, Tater Tot is heartworm negative and ready to start his next chapter. With a little patience and a lot of love, he’s going to make an incredibly loyal and loving companion. Pre approved adopters please send your hold request to the e-mail address you were given. To be pre approved please fill in the application here https://texaschihuahuarescuecanada.org/adoption...

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tater Tot, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
