Chihuahua and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:
I'm a petite boy but pack a ton of personality into this small package!
I am sure to wiggle and waggle my way into your heart.
If you have a vacant lap, I would be glad to keep it warm!
I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!
I had so much fun meeting another dog here in the shelter. My friends at OHS think I would be great at making new dog friends, as long as they enjoy exuberant play!
I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.

The type of home I'm looking for:
I need to go to a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence and to play with!
I need to go to a home without small children.
I may do best with an owner who has had experience owning or caring for shy and fearful dogs.
It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
