Muttley / Jeff - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

If you're looking for twice the love, twice the laughs, and two devoted companions, meet Muttley and Jeff, an adorable bonded pair of Chihuahua/Terrier mixes looking for a forever home together.

Muttley is the outgoing social butterfly of the duo. With his adorable snub nose (we think there may be a little Pug in his family tree!), friendly personality, and slightly chunky figure, he's impossible not to love. Muttley has never met a stranger that he's not ready to make into a new friend. His foster mom has learned to keep a close eye on mealtimes because Muttley is always happy to "help" finish anyone else's food or treats if given the opportunity!

Jeff is a little more reserved. New places and unfamiliar people can make him nervous, so he'll need a patient adopter willing to let him settle in at his own pace. Because of this, potential adopters will meet the pair in their foster home in the Apple Valley/Lakeville area, where Jeff feels safe and comfortable. Once he knows you're his person, though, his sweet personality shines through. Jeff is incredibly affectionate, loves to snuggle, and forms deep bonds with the people he trusts.

Jeff does have a seizure disorder that is well-managed with twice-daily phenobarbital. His medication costs about $30 per month, and he takes it easily when tucked into a bit of cheese or meat. His foster family has found that his seizures are fairly well controlled with this routine.

Their favorite pastime? Playing! Both Muttley and Jeff love toys, especially a good game of tug-of-war with each other or their people. Whether they're entertaining themselves with toys or curling up beside you for a quiet evening, they're happiest simply being together.

Muttley and Jeff have already been through the uncertainty of losing their home after being abandoned and finding their way to animal control before being rescued. Through it all, they've remained devoted to each other, and they're looking for a family who will keep them together for the rest of their lives. If you have room in your heart and home for two loyal little companions, Muttley and Jeff are ready to reward your patience with endless love, laughter, and companionship.

The adoption fee is $800. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional's recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal's history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

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.
