Joe - Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier Dog Available for Adoption in Port Washington, New York

Meet Joe, a 6 month old chihuahua/yorkie mix with a big personality packed into just 6 pounds. This spunky little guy is athletic, playful, curious, and always ready for his next adventure. Whether he’s zooming around the yard, wrestling with a dog friend, or keeping tabs on what you’re doing, Joe is guaranteed to keep life entertaining.

Joe is dog friendly and would love a young, small canine playmate who can match his energy and playful spirit. Like any puppy, he’s still learning the ropes and will need continued help with potty training and basic manners as he grows.

In true chihuahua fashion, Joe can be nervous with strangers at first and isn’t afraid to use his voice when he’s unsure. He’s looking for an adopter who understands small dogs, respects his boundaries, and will give him the time he needs to feel comfortable. Once you’re in his circle, though, Joe bonds quickly and becomes a loyal little sidekick who takes his job as your tiny protector very seriously.

If you’re looking for a fun, spirited companion with lots of personality and even more love to give, Joe may be your perfect match.
