Chihuahua and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Meriden, Connecticut

Meet our enthusiastic and playful little man named Fajita! Fajita is a very young boy and we believe he is under 1 year old. We think he is some kind of Chihuahua mix and he came to our shelter after he was found roaming in town. Fajita is a very outgoing and vocal boy when it comes to wanting attention. He loves to run around outside chasing toys. Fajita is an active little dog who would love a family to play with. He is fine with being picked up and he loves to be on a lap. He gives the biggest smiles and makes the funniest faces. Fajita is good with other dogs and he can go to a home with children 10 years old and older.

If you are interested in adopting Fajita Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application! His adoption fee is $75.00.
