Picasso - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Los Angeles, California

Meet Banksy, Frida Kahlo, and Picasso!

This trio of tiny artists arrived at the Bakersfield shelter as strays, painfully thin and clearly having been on their own for a while. All it took was some food, warmth, and love, and these three bounced back to life almost overnight!

At about 3 months old, they’re believed to be Chihuahua mixes (the shelter guessed possibly some Labrador in there too), though their true mix is a mystery. What’s not a mystery is their gorgeous, unique chocolate brown coloring! You won’t find puppies that look quite like these anywhere else. Full grown, they’re expected to stay small, likely topping out around 10-12 lbs.

Don’t let the tiny size fool you, these three have huge hearts. They are deeply affectionate and thrive on physical closeness, especially being held and carried. Honestly, their happy place is snuggled in someone’s arms, and they’ll happily stay there all day if you let them.

Banksy, Frida Kahlo, and Picasso are looking for foster or forever homes where they’ll get plenty of cuddles, patience as they continue to grow and gain strength, and the chance to just be loved little dogs after a rough start. If you’ve got room in your lap (and your heart), one of these little masterpieces could be perfect for you.

Adoption fee includes: puppy vaccines, microchip, rabies vaccine, and spay/neuter.

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.
