American Staffordshire Terrier and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

Okay… but how is something this tiny also this full of personality?? Tiki Lulu is the kind of dog that stops you in your tracks. The kind where you do a double take because there’s just no way something that small, that cute, and that fun actually exists.

Watch her video and you’ll be in love with this tiny pocket princess: https://youtu.be/WKDEszvUbpE?si=K1z3r7yRf9rW9W3X

Tiki Lulu is about to steal your heart. At just 31 lbs, she’s got this itty-bitty, perfectly compact build that makes everything about her feel extra cute. From her tiny little body to her perfectly shaped dorito ears that somehow make her expressions even more irresistible. She’s the kind of dog you catch yourself staring at thinking, “how are you this cute?” But it’s not just the looks. Tiki has that fun-loving, happy energy that makes her an instant favorite. She’s the kind of girl who just wants to be wherever you are, doing whatever you’re doing, like your own little shadow with a toy proudly in tow.

Tiki is about 1.5 years old and weighs approximately 31 lbs, making her the perfect in-between size, small enough to feel like your little sidekick, but sturdy enough to keep up with everyday life and adventures. She’s got a playful, easygoing personality that makes her such a joy to be around. One of her absolute favorite things? Her stuffy toys. She doesn’t just play with them, she carries them. Around the house, outside, wherever she goes, you’ll often find her proudly trotting by with her prized possession in her mouth like she’s showing off her latest treasure. It’s equal parts adorable and entertaining, and honestly, it never gets old.

Tiki is incredibly people-oriented and thrives on being near her humans. She’s not the kind of dog who wants to be off doing her own thing all day, she wants to be part of your world. Cooking dinner? She’s nearby. Hanging out on the couch? She’s right there. Outside enjoying the day? She’s your little companion, happily tagging along. She has that “just happy to be included” energy that makes her feel like such a natural addition to a home.

She’s dog friendly and has done great with other dogs. Because she’s so small, she can be a little shy when first meeting bigger dogs, but give her a little time and she settles in nicely. Once comfortable, she enjoys romping around and engaging in lighthearted games of chase. She’s more of a playful, bounce-around companion rather than a full-contact wrestler, so she does best with dogs who have a similar medium-energy, easygoing play style. She would thrive with a doggy friend who enjoys company but isn’t looking for a constant playmate. She also does wonderfully with dogs her size and smaller.

Tiki also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. She did not chase Biggie, nor was she bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around her as well. We do not know if she has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing her with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for her to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!

Tiki is currently working on crate training, she’ll go in with encouragement (and a few tasty treats, of course) and she’s doing great so far with potty training. She’s learning quickly and just needs continued consistency to keep her on track. Because Tiki loves to explore, play, and carry her toys around outside, she would do best in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her little legs, enjoy the sunshine, and proudly parade her toys around like the treasures they are. We also believe that Tiki would make a great addition to a family with kids. She has been around kids as young as 5 years old and Tiki just loved being a part of the fun. She was affectionate without being too much, playful while also being gentle, and a sweet girl all around.

Tiki is the total package. Tiny, adorable, playful, affectionate, and full of personality. She’s the kind of dog who makes everyday life feel a little brighter just by being part of it. If you’re looking for a fun-loving little sidekick who will follow you everywhere and keep you smiling along the way, Tiki is ready to be your girl.

We are willing to test Tiki Lulu with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
