Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Little Carmen is coming out of her shell!

A 5-year-old Chihuahua mix, Carmen came to our shelter from Kings County and the city is a lot for this little one, but day by day, she's making her way up the confidence ladder. She is very affiliative with humans thankfully and will go wherever you go! To our surprise, she handles stairs like a champ and enjoys walks to explore her new digs. Sometimes the street commotion is a little scary, so we help build her confidence by sticking to the quieter areas, and not forcing her anywhere she doesn't want to go.

Carmen's looking for a soulmate that will show her patience and a little extra tender lovin' care. Are you that someone? Come find out! Meet Carmen today. Come on in to our adoption center, or, click the 'How to Adopt Me' button to learn about virtual matchmaking appointments!

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.
