Chihuahua and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Durham, North Carolina

Meet Yoshi, an 11-year-old Chihuahua mix who is as sweet and easygoing as they come. Yoshi is an adorably scruffy leggy white and brown heartthrob. This senior boy loves nothing more than following his person from room to room or lying right next to them for cuddles-he's a true Velcro dog who just wants love and attention. Despite his age, Yoshi is healthy and happy. Although he is missing his tail, he has no problem showing excitement when he's happy or feeling playful. He is also missing many teeth, giving him a signature side tongue that he loves to strike a pose and give kisses with!

Yoshi loves going on walks and is well-behaved on a leash. He does a great job staying calm when he sees other people or dogs, making him a pleasure to walk. He also loves exploring the backyard and soaking up the sun whenever the weather allows.
He gets along well with other dogs, especially cuddly ones! Yoshi is crate trained and house trained. He is great in the car and in public settings, which when combined with his small size, makes him a perfectly portable companion!

Yoshi would do best in a home with someone who works from home or is around most of the day, because all he really wants is to be by your side.
