If you've been searching for a pintsized shadow with a giant heart, Pretzel is your guy. This chihuahua mix is a certified humanlover who wants nothing more than to be glued to your side. Snuggling is his love language, and if you let him, he'll happily lick you into submission. Affection is his fulltime job and he takes it very seriously.

Pretzel is doing great with potty training and improves every day. He can potty on leash and prefers to stay close to his humans, so a fenced yard isn't required. He enjoys toys, playtime, and hanging out with other dogs - though he's also perfectly happy being the center of attention as an only dog. If he does live with canine siblings, he'd do best with dogs who don't mind sharing their humans with a little attention hog.

At night, Pretzel sleeps soundly in his crate. During the day, he'll settle in his crate after a few minutes of protest squeaks. He walks nicely on leash, but if he had it his way, he'd much rather be carried like the tiny prince he believes he is.

If you're looking for a loyal little shadow who loves hard, snuggles harder, and absolutely cannot hold his licker, Pretzel is ready to wiggle his way straight into your heart.

Adoption fee: $595

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.
