Dallas (Neutered) (Photos June 19th 2026) - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Marietta, Ohio

Dallas is an adorable 3-year old male Chihuahua mix who was brought to the HSOV on June 19, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found Dallas and his three companions (Bobby, Fancy, and Georgia) in the Whipple Ohio area. Unfortunately none of the boys/girls were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped.

Dallas has a brown coat with darker brown shading on his back and a large patch of white on his chest, a rather long body, a long tail, and a cute Chihuahua face with hopeful brown eyes, a tiny muzzle, and short ears which he holds erect when he chooses to do so.

This little sweetheart and his companions were understandably a bit nervous during the first few days in our shelter, and we realize how scary that must be for tiny boys and girls to find himself in an unfamiliar place with people that they did not realize were his new best friends. Dallas quickly acclimated to his new surroundings and began to trust those strangers (our staff and kennel techs) and decided that they were really good people who gave him loving attention, 'good boy treats', gourmet food, and lots of playtime.

Dallas weighs perhaps 12-15 lbs.

These photos of Dallas were taken on June 19th 2026. Thanks to HSOV Shelter Manager Tracy Lynn Moore for lovingly carrying Dallas and his three companions in her arms and helping them pose for their 'glamour pictures' on the sofa. They surely knew from day one that they were already loved and in a good place.

Dallas and his brother Bobby are sharing a large floor crate.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Dallas and his companions were held for the mandatory three-day stray holds so that their family would have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership. Surprisingly nobody called or came looking for these awesome Chihuahua boys and girls.

Since they were not reclaimed, Dallas and his companions were neutered/spayed on June 29th 2026 and were also given rabies vaccine.

HSOV is currently accepting foster/adoption applications for Dallas and his family members.
