Ryan - Chihuahua and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Novato, California

Meet Ryan, an adorable eleven-month-old Chihuahua mix who is ready to find his perfect forever family. Ryan is a sensitive, quiet soul who is currently feeling a bit worried and anxious in the big world, but beneath that shy exterior is a loyal companion just waiting to blossom. He absolutely loves his people and has a deep, endearing affection for cheese.

Unlike many small dogs, Ryan isn't a lap dog just yet; he prefers to show his loyalty by curling up right at your feet whenever you sit down. He is genuinely interested in making friends with both people and other dogs, but he likes to take things slow and assess the situation from a safe distance first. He just needs a little extra time to build his confidence.

Ryan's ideal home is a patient, low-key environment with a family willing to let him go entirely at his own pace. He needs a soft place to land and plenty of time to decompress so he can realize he is safe. If you have the gentle patience to help this sweet boy come out of his shell, Ryan will reward you with a lifetime of quiet devotion and companionship.
