My Story
Meet Roo & Poquito – A Dynamic Duo of Tiny Charm
Straight outta Southeast Louisiana’s 100+ Chihuahua hoarding case, Roo (7 months, 7 lbs) and Poquito (5 months, 6 lbs) are a bonded pair of hilarious and quirky little lovebugs on the hunt for their forever lap! These boys might have had a strange start to life, but all they want now is to be loved, held, and cuddled non-stop. If you’ve got a free lap, consider it claimed!
Roo is the brave (and slightly mischievous) leader with an unforgettable underbite that will win you over in seconds. He’s the escape artist of the duo, always looking for the next big adventure, but don’t worry—Poquito keeps him grounded! Roo does best with soft foods, so if you’re a chef in the kitchen, he’ll happily be your taste tester. He’s nervous around young children and would thrive in a home with older kids or teens who understand his need for space to warm up.
Poquito is the younger, more cautious sidekick who’s a collector at heart—if it’s fun and small enough to carry, it’s going back to his crate treasure trove! He’s timid but curious around kids, so with a little time, he could be your next best cuddle buddy. Poquito has a bit of a food-hoarding habit (he’s serious about his meals), but a quick “no” will set him straight.
Both are kennel-trained and snooze together in their shared XL crate every night. It took them a few days to warm up to their foster, but once they did, they became loyal little shadows, following their human everywhere. They’ll smother you with kisses, charm you with their quirks, and melt your heart with their bond.
If you’re patient, loving, and ready for double the affection, Roo and Poquito are ready to make your home theirs—together!

**Please do not use the "Introduce Yourself" feature. The information needed to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application. All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info would be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the number of introductions/questions received (hundreds daily) we ask you submit an application on our website (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue).
The adoption fee for puppies covers initial deworming, puppy vaccinations, microchip, and spay/neuter at the rescue's approved vet at 6 months of age. Please see our website for more information.
2022 Adoption Fee Scale for non-benefactor animals:
Puppies under 12 months - $350
