Ever wish your nap buddy came with a side of pep and personality? Meet Soul Ties, a young senior chihuahua mix who’s equal parts chill and charming. He starts out a little reserved, but give him a minute and you’ll see his sweet and spunky side shine. He’s friendly with other dogs, down for moderate walks, and takes his napping schedule very seriously. Once he opens up, he’s all gentle zoomies and soft snuggles. True to his name, Soul Ties doesn’t just join your life. He bonds with your heart in that quiet, lasting way that only the best companions do. Soul Ties is super sweet, gently playful, and has the kind of calm presence that makes any place feel a little cozier.
Here’s some notes from his foster:
Meet Soul Ties – The Cuddle Connoisseur of San Francisco. If you’re looking for a walking buddy and a professional snuggler, your search ends here. Soul Ties is an 8-year-old chihuahua with the heart of an old soul and the curiosity of a kid in a candy store. He approaches each day with gentle enthusiasm, wagging into every adventure whether it’s a morning stroll, a cozy couch nap, or hopping into the car for his next big outing.
Why You’ll Love Soul Ties
• Champion Walker: He adores his walks and will happily explore every corner of the neighborhood. Bushes are his favorite “restroom,” thank you very much.
• Couch Enthusiast: Dog beds are fine, but the couch is where he truly shines… preferably right next to you.
• Cuddle Machine: He will jump into anyone’s lap, whether you’ve known him for five years or five minutes.
• Gentlemanly Manners: House trained, doesn’t bark in the house (not even at doorbells), and takes his medication without a fuss.
• Calm Around Others: Completely unfazed by dogs, people, and the busy city. He’s more “welcome wagon” than watchdog.
• Spa-Ready: Totally fine with having his paws, eyes, and ears wiped.
Energy Level
He’s got just the right balance. Enough pep to walk for miles, but perfectly content to snooze in a pile of blankets when you’re ready to relax.
With Other Dogs, Cats, Kids
Dog-friendly and happy to pass pups politely on walks. We haven’t tested him with cats yet. Around gentle, dog-savvy kids, he’s curious and interested, always approaching with calm confidence.
House Habits
• Sleeps through the night and prefers not to wake before 7:45 am.
• Poops like clockwork, morning and evening.
• No accidents in the house from day one.
• We’re working on building his confidence when left home alone. At first, he may bark or whine a little to voice his concern, but he soon settles into his bed or curls up on the couch. When you return, he’ll greet you with a joyful celebration, as if you’ve been gone for weeks. He’s learning that when his humans step out, they always come back.
What Makes Him Special
Soul Ties isn’t just a foster dog. He’s a gentle reminder that joy lives in the simple things. A sunny spot on the couch. A long sniffy walk. A warm cuddle during a movie. He gives love freely and asks for almost nothing in return… maybe a treat or two.
If you’re ready to share your home with a steady, loving companion who greets each day with quiet joy and ends each night with the best cuddles you’ve ever had, Soul Ties is ready to meet you.
