Bugs - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Bartlett, Tennessee

Bugs was found early in the morning on the 4th of July! He had been running around Midtown Memphis all morning and found himself in a cul de sac with lots of dog lovers. After two hours of watching, waiting, and tossing treats, he was finally saved by a group of committed neighbors. He spent the weekend resting and decompressing from his long and mysterious journey. After getting to the vet, he got a clean bill of health! He is scared, but he is on his way to healing.

Bugs is estimated to be 3 years old and weighs 4.5 pounds. Right now he is focusing on gaining weight and confidence. He tolerates being touched gently and picked up after you establish trust with him.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
