Chihuahua and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Mowie , a charming Chihuahua/Terrier mix with a survival story as cool as the storm he escaped!

Born around August 4, 2024 , and weighing in at a sturdy 15.9 pounds , Mowie is the definition of a "tough guy with a heart of gold." He was discovered hanging around the guard shack at Randolph AFB just as a major ice storm was rolling in. The kind-hearted guards had been sharing their lunches with him to keep him going, but they knew he needed a warm hearth to survive the freeze.

Mowie is a truly great boy who is ready to trade base security for home security. He does have one quirky "occupational hazard": he’s a bit of a serial humper when it comes to other dogs, which hasn't always won him friends at the park. However, he was recently neutered , and we are optimistic that this will help him keep his "enthusiasm" in check as his hormones settle down.

Birthday: ~08/04/2024 (approx. 1.5 years old)
