Delgado is an 8-year-old male Chihuahua weighing about 12 pounds. (ID #A058032)

This active and curious guy is an escape artist at the shelter. His former family said he kept getting out of their yard. Delgado would need to be supervised when outside. He would also prefer a home with children 12 years and older who will understand that he doesn’t like having his tail or ears tugged.

Delgado would also need to meet any current dogs in your home before being adopted. When he wants attention Delgado can be quite noisy, so he is best suited for a home rather than an apartment. He would love to be part of a home where he gets lots of walks because exercise is a great way to satisfy his curiosity.

Delgado is very affectionate when he is familiar with you. He would thrive in a home where he gets just as much love in return. Delgado is neutered, current on vaccinations and has a microchip. You can find out more about him on his Pet Finder profile.

Meet Delgado and other additional animals available for adoption at Regional Animal Services of King County’s Pet Adoption Center in Kent, 21615 64th Ave. S.
