Hulk, chihuahua
Hulk is a lovable male chihuahua puppy being kept at Small Chance Rescue.
Hulk will get along great with your other dogs. Have no fear: He's already house-trained. He's already vaccinated.
Notes from Hulk's caretakers:
Hulk lives up to his name... he’s survived two near-death illnesses, he’s the big guy in the house, and he loves just fiercely. Hulk survived Parvo and then just a month later survived what the vets believe was leptospirosis. We are amazed he’s here with us and that he’s made a full recovery from both. He loves to play, snuggle, and then play again. He likes all people including children. He has been fully vetted (neutered, microchipped, 3 rounds of vaccinations, dewormed + 2 live-saving stays at the Emergency Clinic) and has now received a clean bill of health. If you’re looking for a fun and spunky pup who’ll make you laugh and give you sweet kisses and snuggles, Hulk may be the guy for you.
