Leo - Chihuahua and Smooth Fox Terrier Dog for Adoption in Silver Spring, Maryland

Don't let my serious little expression fool you! My name is Leo, and I tend to make a funny, judgy face whenever I get overwhelmed by loud noises or busy rooms.

I'm a 4-month-old (as of October 2026) brown and black Chihuahua mix weighing just 11 pounds. I was found as a stray, and loud kennels really aren't my thing. All I really want is a quiet, cozy home where I can hang out right next to my person, or better yet, curl up right in your lap!

Even though I'm still just a young puppy, I already walk nicely on a leash. I can be a little cautious at first when meeting other dogs, so I do best with calm dogs who let me take my time warming up. As for cats, I might give them a curious look, though I mostly just avoid them and do my own thing!

I'm a healthy little guy and already neutered, microchipped, and caught up on my puppy shots.

I would love to find a peaceful forever home and a warm lap to call my own. Come meet me soon!
