Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

At 2 years old, Mickey the Chihuahua mix is a spunky, fun-loving little guy who’s always ready to bring the party wherever he goes. Don’t let his small size fool you, this 9-pound pup has a big personality and loves to stay busy, explore, and soak up attention from his favorite people.

Mickey adores his humans and forms strong, loyal bonds. He can be a bit shy when meeting strangers at first, but once he warms up, his playful, happy-go-lucky nature takes over and he’s ready for fun.

He does well with smaller, respectful dogs who can match his upbeat energy and understand that even little dogs like to play big.

Mickey would thrive in a home that’s ready for a lively companion who will keep you smiling, laughing, and on your toes in the best way.

If you’re looking for a tiny best friend with a huge zest for life, Mickey is ready to meet you.
