Chihuahua and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Pablo, a one-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix weighing 17 pounds.

Pablo is a good boy with a gentle heart who’s just looking for a little confidence boost. He’s friendly and enjoys being around people, though he can be a bit unsure in new situations. With some patience and encouragement, he’s already showing that he wants to connect and be someone’s loyal companion.

He walks nicely on leash, making him a great partner for calm strolls and getting out to explore the world at his own pace. Pablo just needs a family who will help him feel safe, build his confidence, and cheer him on along the way.

If you’re looking for a sweet, steady pup to grow with and bring out the best in, Pablo is ready to meet you.
