Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Jax!
This handsome senior is ready for a fresh new start. Jax is a very friendly little dog who is looking for a nice quiet home to live out his retirement years. In his old age he has become a bit more sensitive to extensive handling and doesn't enjoy being picked up. It is best to go slow with Jax and let him go at his own pace. Once comfortable he is full of love to give and enjoys soft pets and tasty treats. Upon our initial vet exam we did discover that Jax has a pretty significant heart mummer. At this time he is not currently symptomatic for heart disease. With this in mind we would highly recommend after adoption getting him established with a primary vet right away. If you're seeking a mellow and affectionate friend, Jax might just be the perfect match!

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 mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
