Meet Lil Bit! I chose him because when my aging, feeble mind can’t remember my dogs’ names, I call them Lil Bit, too!

This beautiful dog is being sheltered at the City of Boston Animal Shelter. Here’s what they have to say about him:

He is a long haired chihuahua. Very sweet. 6 months old and 5 pounds of joy. He would love to sit on your lap!

It’s not much, I know, but better than a lot of animal shelters do in describing their pets. (Besides, as small as he is, he doesn’t need a description bigger than he is!)

If you’re going to be near Massachusetts, why not contact the animal shelter and ask to meet Lil Bit and all of his friends. Call 617-635-1800 or 635-1913. (The city’s website is undergoing maintenance right now so I can’t post a link to the shelter, but you should be able to find it by starting at at CityOfBoston.gov) Please note: if you already have a dog in your home, the city of Boston requires that you bring your dog in, so they can evaluate how the two dogs will get along before you bring Lil Bit into your home.

If you’re not in the northeast, check out Petfinder’s Shelter Center for information on adoptable dogs near you.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
