Titos - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Buffalo, Minnesota

Location: Burnsville, MN

Meet Titos: a big sweetheart with a tiny body, a big heart, and just the right amount of diva energy.

Titos favorite place is wherever you are. He'll happily follow you from room to room, supervise your daily activities, and then settle into a cozy spot nearby while he waits for his next cuddle opportunity. He's a pretty low-key guy who enjoys the quieter side of life, making him a great fit for apartment living or a home with someone who's retired or works from home. The one exception to his quiet nature? Hearing another dog barking nearby. Tito takes his neighborhood watch duties seriously.

He seems to be fully potty-trained, though he may occasionally sneak off to handle business if it's been a while since his last potty break. He's not a fan of the crate, but he does wonderfully free-roaming while you're away. No dramatic protests or home renovations here; just a little guy finding the comfiest spot to nap until you get back.

Titos foster mom tortured him with a bath once, (and he hated it), but did appreciate being clean afterwards. He did not mind getting his nails clipped, though!

He may occasionally eat from his bowl like a normal dog, but he'd much rather be hand-fed by his personal chef (that's you). Honestly, he knows what he deserves.

His foster home includes two dogs (a 7-year-old medium-sized dog and a 5-month-old small-to-medium puppy) and a well-behaved 8-year-old cat. Tito generally coexists peacefully with the dogs, though he can get a little protective of his people when the larger dog comes around. Cats, on the other hand, are apparently perfectly acceptable cuddle companions. He has no issues with his feline foster sibling and is happy to snuggle up right beside her.

Because Titos can be a bit territorial around larger dogs, he'll do best in a home with no other dogs, or one with smaller or younger canine companions who are a good match for his personality. A cat-friendly home could also be right up his alley!

So, if you're looking for a loyal little shadow, a professional cuddle buddy, a part-time hand-feeding enthusiast, and a tiny security guard who takes his job very seriously (but would also like a nap afterward), Tito might just be your guy. He's ready to bring a whole lot of love to the lucky person who makes him part of their family.

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.
