🐾 HELLO WORLD, I’M JACINTA! (But you can call me Tina) 🐾

I’m a 5-year-old, 11-pound little lady, and I am officially searching for my forever home. If you have a comfy couch and a soft blanket, we might just be a match made in heaven!

Here is my resume for the position of your new best friend:

🛋️ My Ideal Day
My absolute favorite thing in the world is cuddling right next to my humans on a cozy chair or couch—especially buried deep under a warm blanket. If you scratch my face and head, I’m yours forever. I enjoy a quick play session to toss a toy and get a few "zoomies" out, but otherwise, I’m a pretty medium-low energy gal!

☀️ I’m a Fair-Weather Girl
I’ll be honest: I really don’t like the cold, rain, or snow.

Walks: I’m a bit timid, so I don't need daily walks. Sometimes the big world scares me and I want to stay close to home. I think I'll get braver over time, but only if it’s nice and warm out!

Potty Time: I do a great job going potty outside on a consistent schedule. However, weather or routine changes can cause accidents. If you have a little covered area outside for me to use when it rains, I would love you forever!

🏡 Excellent House Manners
My Castle: I love my kennel! It’s my safe space. I sleep quietly in there when you're away, even for a full workday.

Inside Voice: I’m a very quiet girl for a Chihuahua. I really only bark if I see something out the window or hear other dogs barking.

Training: I don't know many commands yet, but my foster parents say I'm so "sweet as pie" that it hasn't even been an issue. I'm happy to learn, though!

🐱 My Social Circle
Other Pets: I'm fine around cats (ideally dog-savvy ones) and dogs my own size, as long as they respect my personal space and don't get right in my face.

Kids: Since I'm a little timid, loud toddlers might scare me. I’d prefer a home with older, calmer kids.

Road Trips: I do great in the car, so I'm always ready to be your copilot!

If you’re looking for a gentle, quiet, blanket-loving sweetheart to complete your family, please apply to adopt me! I can't wait to meet you.

If you’re looking for a typical Shiba Inu—you know, the kind that stares at you blankly from across the room, judging your outfit choices—keep scrolling. Groovy completely missed the memo on his own breed. Instead of being an independent, mysterious king, he is a 20-pound shadow who firmly believes that personal space is a myth. He is a certified velcro dog disguised as a tiny fox!!

🌟 The Resume Highlights:
The Perfect Roommate: 100% house-trained. (He just needed a minute to adjust to his foster home, but he's got flawless indoor manners now.)

The Perfect Walking Partner: Walks in a straight line like an absolute professional. No chaotic pulling or zig-zagging.

The Perfect Road Tripper: Loves a good car ride. He’s all about the "windows down, ears flapping" lifestyle (though he will absolutely try to negotiate his way into your lap if you let him).

🏃‍♂️ Warning: High-Octane Energy Included
Do you like running, rollerblading, or outdoor adventures? Perfect, because he’s your new personal trainer. He has a short history on the streets—leaving him with a few minor battle scars that are healing beautifully—but it didn't slow him down for a second. His zoomies are legendary.

He also absolutely loves other dogs and fits into a pack with zero drama.

🎭 The Drama (And the Diet)
We need to talk about his two greatest passions: Snacks and Speaking His Mind. This dog is a culinary enthusiast. Food isn't just a meal; it's an event. And if the food is late, or if you stop petting him for more than three consecutive seconds, you will be treated to a live performance. It’s not a bark. It’s a soulful, dramatic, operatic howl that translates to: "I am being neglected, please look at my empty bowl."

📋 The Final Verdict:
Affection Level: 11/10

Entertainment Value: 15/10

Volume Level: It has personality.

He is goofy, fiercely loyal, incredibly loving, and ready to find his forever people. If you want a dog who will never let you feel lonely (or quiet) again, he's waiting for you!
