Chihuahua and Italian Greyhound Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

💜🐾 Meet Nala – Your Sweet, Silly Little Shadow! 🐕✨.......located in Houston, TEXAS

Chihuahua mix
Weight: 20lb
Estimate birthday: 2/12/2023
Adoption fee: $500

Nala’s story is one that tugs at your heart; she spent weeks wandering the streets, creating a little “home” out of a cardboard box and blankets, following people (especially kids) just hoping someone would finally choose her. 💔

Now safe and thriving in foster care, she’s ready to find the forever home she’s always deserved. Nala is full of personality… playful, affectionate, and just the right amount of goofy. She loves her toys and will even toss them in the air to play fetch all by herself 😂.

She’s great with other dogs and people, 95% potty trained, fully crate trained, and already knows “sit” and “crate,” while currently working on “stay/wait.” She walks on a leash but is still learning to stay focused because everything around her is just so exciting.

Nala can be a little shy at first, but if you give her about 30 minutes to warm up on her own terms, she will quickly become your loyal little shadow, following you everywhere and soaking up all the love. She would thrive in a home that enjoys a fun, affectionate companion and will continue building her confidence… another dog would be a bonus but isn’t required.

Nala is the perfect mix of sweet, spunky, and snuggly, and she’s ready to bring so much joy, laughter, and love into the lucky home that finally chooses her. 🐶✨
She is:
⭐️ Fully vaccinated, microchipped, & spayed
🏡 Kennel & potty trained
🐶 Dog and Kid friendly
📍 located in Houston, TX (transport available out of state!)

*We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.

*Our adoption fees are based on the vetting we put into each dog. Fees for puppies (under 12 months) are higher because they require more vetting than dogs over 1 year.

*Listed breed and age are based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption.

*Our adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption.

*All of our adopters are invited to join our “Alum Pupdates” Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters!

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The Italian Greyhound is a small and elegant breed known for its slender build, gracefulness, and affectionate nature. These dogs are gentle, intelligent, and loyal companions that thrive on human companionship. They excel in agility and obedience activities, and their short coat requires minimal grooming. Despite their delicate appearance, Italian Greyhounds are surprisingly resilient and energetic, enjoying playful activities and romps in a secure outdoor area. Their loving personalities and expressive eyes make them a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a charming and devoted pet.
