Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Bandit, a 1 year old, 9 lb Chihuahua, who came to his foster home in Somerville with his tiny new best friend Morgan (also adoptable through Broken Tail Rescue). These two little adventurers who met foster care and instantly decided life was better together. While two different breeds from two rescue situations, they have remarkably similar personalities (twin brothers from other mothers?)

From the moment they met, they became inseparable. They chase and play around the house, curl up together for naps on the sofa, and happily pile into laps whenever one is available. Wherever one goes, the other is usually right behind.
These two are playful, affectionate, and endlessly curious. Every household chore is a fascinating event, every room is an adventure, and yes… everything is a toy.

While they would be over the moon if adopted together, each has shown how quickly they can bond with a fellow like-minded pup.

What to expect from either of the pups in this adorable duo:
🐾 Loves to chase, play, and cuddle
🛋️ Professional lap dog who would happily share your bed
🐕 Friendly with other dogs
🎾 Playful and curious about everything happening in the house
🚀 Still learning that coffee tables are not launch pads
🏡 Working on basic manners and house training (still have some puppy energy!)

They can be a little nervous with new people, but after about five minutes their sweet personalities shine through and they’re ready to be your new shadows.
While it’s not required, it would be wonderful if these two could be adopted together since they are so bonded. If adopted separately, each would do best in a home that already has another playful canine partner in crime.

They are currently being fostered in Somerville and are ready to bring double the cuddles, double the laughs, and double the love to their forever family.

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.
