Chihuahua and Beagle Dogs Available for Adoption in Livonia, Michigan

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Murray!

Murray is a senior Chihuahua-Beagle mix estimated to be about 10 years old. He was brought into a rural OH shelter along with his two canine friends, also senior Chihuahua mixes.

Murray is a gentle dog and, despite his age, has a spring in his step and can run surprisingly fast. He displays Beagle behaviors such as magically appearing when there is food to be had, letting his nose direct his steps...usually in haste to the tantalizing smell, lavishing his affection on humans and efforts to 'escape' his harness and/or collar, hence the need for a securely fenced yard. He will take short walks, but prefers to just run around at his leisure for a bit before tuckering out and taking a nap.

Murray has 1 or 2 teeth in the back of his mouth so his tongue hangs out all the time. He takes a bit of time to feel comfortable in his environment and runs to his crate, his 'safe space', when unsure of things. He has no aggression, just frightens easily. He would do best with another canine companion around his size as he lights up when he meets another dog. He currently lives with a 10 pound Pom mix and loves his company. Murray is a solid 20+ pounds. He eats wet food and kibble softened with water.

Murray is UTD on vaccines and had a negative Heartworm test. If medically okay, he will be neutered and microchipped prior to adoption.

Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The microchip is transferred to the adopter once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a one-time $15 microchip enrollment fee. Microchips are enrolled with AKC Reunite. Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.
