Background: Kelvin is a black brindle pointed smooth coat, male Chihuahua. He was born and raised at SFC and is a 4th generation of our program. He is a year and a half old, so he has a lot of great years ahead of him to offer to a new home. Kelvin is a character, full of charisma, witty charm and kisses. He loves water, toys and other dogs. He can be a bit dominant with some males. He will do great in a home with or without small children. Kelvin loves to run and play. Because he is coming from a breeding environment, he does mark our home, so we keep him in an extra small belly band. The belly bands can be purchased off of Amazon and easily washed in the washing machine. We will also send some home with him too! He will be neutered before leaving us, and from experience and feedback from our previous clients, once a male is removed from a setting that there are intact female dogs, potty training can be reintroduced and he can be taught to stop the marking in the home. It will take consistency and we can't guarantee that each dog we rehome can be fully potty trained so it's best to adopt him with an open mind and know that a bad habit like this, may never go away. He eats Purina ProPlan and loves it. He isn't leash trained since we own property and he runs and runs, but he is super smart and can be taught to wear a harness and walked on a leash. This is a dog that would love to join you camping, hiking, fishing, etc. He loves the outdoors. He does fine in the car. He loves to snuggle in your bed, but will also sleep in a dog bed. Kelvin is a fully health tested male. He has been genetically health tested through Embark Vet. He has had his patellas, eyes and heart all certified with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. He is from many generations of health tested dogs.  We require that you will keep in touch with us if you want to adopt him.  It generally takes 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn a new routine, and 3 months to start to feel at home. We do require that you submit a puppy application for consideration. This is not a first come first serve placement. The application fee is non-refundable. I will allow public meet in greets for local families. 

​

 We encourage all prospective adopters to really think this through and not take on a dog that may not work for you. We want his next home to be his forever home. To submit an application for Kelvin, please use our puppy application for consideration.
