Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Fort Worth, Texas

Meet Lysander!

Lysander is a playful and curious 11 month-old (date of birth 6-14-2025) Chihuahua mix little guy. He loves to be outside in the sunshine playing with other dogs. Dogs his own size or slightly bigger would be best so as to avoid injury because he is so small.

Lysander is crate trained and working on house training. He has learned to signal by whining to go outside. He loves to nest under the covers at night when sleeping with his favorite person. Sometimes he’ll sleep through the night. Overall, supervision is still needed. He has been neutered and is current with all his vaccines.

Lysander is loving and likes touches and pets, but he still asserts his independence, occasionally, by selecting his own place on the couch. However, most times, he’ll curl right up with you.

Lysander is a gentle, sometimes shy little guy. Loudness or quick movements can make him leery, so a somewhat calm environment would be good. He would do better in a home with older children. He would also be fine as the only pup in the home or as an addition to a current pack. He also gets a long with cats.

Lysander is a delightful little soul. He would make a great companion for anyone looking for a "little" road traveler.

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.
