About Aragorn (Chihuahua) in Seattle

Aragorn is waiting for you at Dog Gone Seattle Rescue in Seattle, WA 98125. Animal Profile: Aragorn is an estimated 2-year-old, 11 lb Chihuahua mix. He was rescued from Stanislaus Animal Services, where he was at risk of euthanasia due to lack of space. Aragorn was nervous in the kennel, but was easily handled. He will do so much better outside of a noisy, stressful shelter. He was brought in with several other Chihuahuas (Frodo and Pippin) and is dog friendly. Foster Update: Aragorn is a timid little cutie that is looking for a mellow home with another playful dog. Aragorn will need a patient and confident adopter who can show him the world is not so scary and provide the security he needs as he gains confidence. Aragorn needs a secure and quiet environment with a fully fenced yard; he does enjoy climbing trees so adopters should be mindful of their landscaping. He loves playing with the resident dogs in his foster home. We are only considering quiet homes with another playful resident dog (or two) to help him feel comfortable. Aragorn uses the doggie door in his foster home and has been doing great going potty outside; no accidents inside. He is wagging his tail, chewing on chew toys, and running around the house with the resident dogs. He still runs away from humans if we approach him, even with food or treats. He will sit next to us on the couch and let us pet him. Any potential adopter would, as we said, need to be very committed and very patient, and understand that he may never be a "people" dog. He's extremely sweet though, and would make a great companion for someone's lonely dog! Out in the world, Aragorn walks nicely on leash. Though uncertain about the environment, he will look to his foster humans for cues and confidence. He is nervous, but he did well walking through the Edmonds Farmer's Market. He's getting more relaxed around us and strangers. He loves his toys and collecting them in little piles, especially outside. He's great on
