More about Acorn (& Anchovy)

Acorn and Anchovy are a charming pair of Chihuahua’s who are a closely bonded. They are based at Battersea Old Windsor.

They are spending some time in a temporary foster home and have settled well into the routine. It’s clear that they both adore people and will seek out a chin tickle or want to sit on a lap at any opportunity, and both happily share the attention. They both love to zoom around the garden and Acorn is particularly fond of snoozing on the decking.

They love a chase game and they will both run around the house, chasing after each other and leaping on and off the sofas.

Acorn and Anchovy have both been house trained on foster, travel well in the car and sleep soundly through the night in the kitchen.

They do need a private garden where they can explore in their own time with no outside pressure, this will also help to build up their confidence. They are quite worried of the wider world and are not dogs who would like to go for a longer walks - some time in the garden and a short walk on lead in a familiar area would be fine for Acorn and Anchovy.

Since being on foster, their playful natures have really come out, Acorns favourite toy is a soft avocado whereas Anchovy prefers his flamingo.

Acorn and Anchovy are looking for a calm home, with a fairly consistent routine as we know they enjoy this, where they’ll get plenty of company and affection.
