Gobstopper is a happy, playful, and oh-so-sweet boy who loves just about everything, especially his people! He's an active, food-motivated guy who is eager to please and always ready to learn.

Being a social butterfly he is eager to greet new friends, loves getting pets and attention, and would happily spend his day cuddling with his favorite humans.

Gobstopper lives with four cats and does decently well with them, although he occasionally needs some redirection when his curiosity gets the best of him. He has also been introduced to children and did fairly well.

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.
