Racer - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Newberg, Oregon

Meet Racer!
Racer is a 4 year old, 13 pound Chihuahua mix with a gentle heart that's just waiting to shine. New situations and loud noises can make him a little nervous at first, but give him some time, patience, and a few treats, and you'll quickly see his sweet personality emerge.
Once Racer realizes he's safe, he begins to relax and show his playful side. He may do best in an older kid home due to this. He enjoys toys, appreciates a predictable routine, and doesn't mind spending time with his kennel buddy. While he may not be the first dog to rush up and greet everyone, the bond you build with Racer is incredibly rewarding.
Racer is searching for a patient, understanding family that will let him settle in at his own pace and help him build confidence. With a little love and reassurance, this handsome boy will be a loyal companion who is grateful for a place to call home.
Could Racer be the one you've been waiting for?

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.
