BREED: Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier Mix

WEIGHT: 10 lbs.

MARL ARRIVAL: Stray

BACKGROUND: Herbie is a little dog with a whole lot of personality. This Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix is fun, quirky, and still figuring out exactly how to “dog” but he’s learning more every day and keeping everyone entertained along the way. Herbie can take a moment to warm up to new people and may feel more comfortable with women at first than men. But once you give him a little patience, get down on his level, and let him decide you’re safe, his affectionate side comes right out. Before long, he’ll be climbing into your lap and tapping you with his paws to request more pets. Herbie is looking for someone who will appreciate his silly charm, respect his need for a little time, and celebrate the fun, unique little guy he is. Once you’re in his circle, Herbie is all personality, love, and lap-snuggles.

COMPATIBILITY: Based on our evaluation, we feel that Herbie has the potential to get along with other dogs. Herbie would do best in a home without cats and with children over the age of 8.

MEDICAL NEEDS: None.

ADOPTION FEE: $250
