๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿถ FUNTIK โ€“ A Tiny Fluffy Charmer with a Big, Happy Personality ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’• Funtik is a 6-month-old (will be 7 in January) tiny/miniature-sized Chihuahua-cross boy, fluffy, compact and full of life. He is confident, joyful and wonderfully people-oriented โ€” the kind of puppy who believes the world is a friendly place and wants to be part of everything. Social, affectionate and playful, Funtik brings laughter wherever he goes, while still being gentle and easy to live with for such a young pup.

๐Ÿ’” Rescue Story
Funtikโ€™s life began in neglect. He was found together with his mum and sister in a shed belonging to people struggling with alcoholism. His tiny mum, weighing barely 5 kg, was chained on a cowโ€™s chain, sitting on rubbish with no bedding and no food. The puppies were skeletal โ€” at almost three months old, they weighed less than one kilogram.
They were taken away just in time. Funtik survived hunger, cold and neglect โ€” yet somehow, he grew into a puppy full of trust and joy, as if choosing happiness despite everything.

๐Ÿพ More About Funtik
Funtik currently lives with a foster family in a village garden house, sharing a large grassy area with other puppies. He is confident and relaxed, showing no fearfulness. He adores people, happily runs to strangers for fuss, and loves being picked up โ€” freezing with happiness, eyes closed, soaking in affection.

He is very social with other puppies, playful and can be playfully vocal, often โ€œtalkingโ€ or singing while playing. If other dogs donโ€™t want to play, he may bark in insistent invitation. He doesnโ€™t guard from people or dogs, but during meals he needs gentle management so he doesnโ€™t wander into othersโ€™ bowls.

His one small challenge is that he is a little macho flirt โ€” overly interested in other dogs, especially females. This is expected at his age and should improve with maturity, decent mental and physical stimulation and neutering. He would suit a confident, playful dog who wonโ€™t be bothered by his enthusiasm.

๐Ÿก Ideal Family
Funtik would thrive in an active, affectionate home that enjoys puppy energy, play and interaction. He is ideal for families with calm children aged 7+, and for homes with playful dogs who enjoy company (female resident dog should be spayed!). A secure garden is essential as he loves outdoor play.

He can also live as an only dog, provided he is not left alone for long periods and is fully included in daily life. Funtik is small enough to accompany his people everywhere โ€” on foot or in arms โ€” and is already learning lead walking.

๐Ÿ’ž Funtik is pure joy wrapped in fluff. He survived a heartbreaking start and still greets the world with optimism and love. If youโ€™re looking for a tiny companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Funtik is ready to bring happiness into your life.

๐Ÿฉบ Health Information
Funtik is fully healthy, vaccinated and microchipped. He is too young to be neutered (recommended after 10 months).All dogs are C.Brucella tested before travel (owners receive a licensed laboratory test certificate).
