Meet Chickpea

This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, Februry 22nd from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.     Adoption Fee: $750   Meet Chickpea! Chickpea is a 4-5 year old Yorkie mix who may be tiny, but she’s packed with personality! This little legume was scooped up from an overcrowded shelter, and we knew right away she was too special to sit on the shelf. Now, she's looking for her forever humans who will cherish her like the rare and precious ingredient she is!   At just 7.9 pounds (mostly fluff and pure royalty), Chickpea is the perfect size to tuck under your arm and parade around like the princess she was born to be. With her dashing little mustache and perky ears, she turns heads wherever she struts. But don’t be fooled by her dainty appearance—she’s got a playful, zoomie-loving side that comes out when she’s feeling extra joyful.   A Day in the Life of Chickpea Chickpea starts her morning around 7 AM, waiting oh-so-patiently in her bed at the foot of her foster’s bed until her human is ready to begin their daily duties (serving her, of course). After a brisk morning stroll, she enjoys a well-earned breakfast before settling in for a day of snoozing in her foster mom's bedroom while she is at work. Evenings are for leisurely walks, dinner at 6 PM sharp, and then more lounging (she takes her relaxation very seriously). At night, she tucks herself into her own bed, dreaming of treats, adventures, and her future humans who will adore her forever.   Chickpea’s Vibe If you're looking for a cuddle connoisseur, Chickpea is your girl! She’s mellow, affectionate, and always down for a snuggle. She adores her humans (whom she considers her personal attendants) and enjoys being doted on, preferably while wrapped in a fabulous outfit. Chickpea may be a couch potato most of the time, but don’t be fooled—she has her zoomie moments!   Chickpea is well-mannered with other calm dogs and does fine with respectful older kids, though she’d prefer a home without little ones, who can be very overwhelming for this tiny princess. She’s a dream on the leash and stays close to her people, always ready to be admired by passing fans. She’s mostly potty trained, though she’s had a couple of minor accidents when adjusting to a new routine. Once in sync with her human’s schedule, she does great!   While she’s confident in her home, Chickpea can be shy and tentative in unfamiliar environments, sometimes shaking when she’s unsure. But with patience and reassurance, she quickly builds her confidence and settles in.   The Perfect Home for Chickpea Chickpea is an excellent option for any home with some level of dog experience. Kids should be 7+ and understand that this tiny queen demands gentle handling. If you're ready for a little shadow who will love you endlessly (as long as the treats keep coming), Chickpea is ready to claim her throne in your heart!
