                                            Meet Acorn

Acorn is a handsome chocolate spotted on white smooth coat male Chihuahua, proudly born here at Salem’s Finest. He was originally held back as a potential addition to our breeding program and has completed all required and recommended health testing. His results are publicly available through the OFA database.

​

After further evaluation, we have decided to place Acorn in a loving pet home where he can thrive as someone’s devoted companion.

​

Acorn does best with other small breed dogs and truly enjoys canine companionship. He loves people and dogs his size and is a friendly, well-rounded boy with a sweet nature. In familiar surroundings, he is confident and engaging. In new environments, he may initially appear shy or reserved — but with time and patience, he acclimates beautifully and blossoms into a wonderful companion.

​

He is available for an in-person meet and greet or may be adopted sight unseen for approved families.

​

When welcoming an older puppy or young adult into your home, it’s important to understand that the adjustment period varies with each individual dog. Please be sure to review the 3-3-3 rule for decompression and settling in. Patience and structure during this transition are key to long-term success.

​

Acorn is ready to find a home where he can feel secure, loved, and part of a small-dog pack. 🤍
