Terrier and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Mitsy is a fun sized pup who very cute, affectionate, sweet, snugly, playful and silly. This 1 year old girl is a super size at just under 30lbs. She has a little filling out to do but is full grown. Our guess would be that she may be terrier and possibly Chihuahua with some bunny mixed in there too.

Mitsy has been doing really well in her foster home! She gets along very well with other dogs and really enjoys playing chase with them in the backyard. In between zoomie sessions she is snuggled up for a nap or occupying herself with a bone or toy. Mitsy adores people and loves to give and receive affection. She is hoping to be a lap dog in her forever home. She would also really appreciate a fenced yard since zooming and hopping around is her specialty. We do not know how Mitsy would be around cats.

This sweetie pie has been great in the crate. She is quiet and well behaved when crated overnight and when her foster mom isn't home. Mitsy is still working on house training but is doing very well and we understand the weather lately hasn't made going outside the most desirable.

Mitsy can be a little skittish with loud noises and sudden movements so we think kids in a home should be 8 years and up. She takes a little bit to be fully trusting of people and other dogs but it doesn't take her too long and it's well worth it. This girl's playful and funny antics will bring a smile to your face and her cuddles are top notch.
