Pesto - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Mead, Colorado

Meet Pesto!

Pesto is a 1-year-old Chihuahua with a huge personality packed into a tiny body. If youre looking for a dog who will keep you laughing, this little guy delivers.

His two greatest loves in life are food and butt scratchesand honestly, were not sure which one wins. Mention a snack or start scratching his backside and youll instantly become his favorite person.

Pesto is a funny, entertaining pup who has settled beautifully into foster care. He quickly mastered the dog door and is doing great with potty training. He loves going for walks, enjoys playing with toys, and has plenty of energy for adventures, but he also knows how to relax and settle down when its time to unwind.

Hes very social and affectionate with his people, though he can still be a little nervous about being picked up from a standing position. Once he knows youre safe, his sweet and goofy personality shines through. Pesto adored the baby in his foster home, so he appears to be a great fit for families with children.

Pesto gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has made lots of canine friends, but he isnt dependent on having another dog in the home. Hes confident enough to entertain himself and is happy chewing on a bone or tossing around a sturdy toy. (Just dont leave too many soft plush toys unattendedhe considers them a challenge!)

Hes comfortable in a crate and will even choose to hang out there sometimes, but prospective adopters should know that Pesto firmly believes couches and beds are essential amenities.

If youre looking for a small dog with a big heart, a great sense of humor, and endless charm, Pesto is ready to spice up your life.

Pesto is being fostered in Aurora, Colorado.

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.
