Newt - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Meet Newt! Newt is a sweet and loving 2-year-old Chihuahua mix who is happiest when he's close to his people. He's a total cuddle bug who loves a good snuggle, but he's also playful and always up for a game of fetch. He's a fetch natural, too: toss his toy and he'll happily bring it right back to you! Newt is also a natural on the leash and loves getting out for walks and exploring. He's doing really well with crate training and is potty trained. He's very food motivated (this little guy loves his meals and treats!), which makes him eager to learn and easy to reward. Newt is friendly with people and does well with other dogs and cats. He's an affectionate, fun little guy with lots of love to give. Whether you're heading out for a walk, tossing a toy around, or curling up on the couch, Newt is just happy to be part of the fun. If you're looking for a sweet, playful little companion who also takes his snuggling very seriously, Newt might just be your guy.

Newt is 2 years old and 16 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, and have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

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.

To create a world where all companion animals are loved, respected and have a home.
