Chihuahua and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:
I have been working with the Behavior and Training team here at OHS for consistency and am looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. You'll need to meet with me multiple times before taking me home.
To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
I may be shy at first, but once we get to know each other I will shower you with love!
House Training: I have a history of housetraining struggles.
I am used to living an active lifestyle! I would love to get up and go adventure with you.
I can't wait to show my new family how playful I am!
Resource Guarding: I have a history of guarding my people, food, toys and/or bedding from other animals or people.
Bite History: I have a history of biting a person.
I have been known to shower my favorite people with love.
Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!
In my last home, I did great in the crate!


The type of home I'm looking for:
I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
Loud noises and unpredictable movements can make me uncomfortable, I would do best in a home with calm, older children.
I lived with cats in my last home.
