Terrier and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in North Richland Hills, Texas

Meet Maria!

Maria is a tiny girl, weighing approximately only 5lbs (still growing, but will not get much bigger). She is a 7 month old terrier/chihuahua mix.

Maria is sweet, affectionate, playful, full of energy, and a HUGE cuddle bug.

She is nervous when she first meets new people, and needs a bit of time to warm up. Once she trusts you, she is so loyal and will not want to leave your side. When she isn't curled up on her person's lap, she loves to lounge outside and soak up the sun. Her foster says she has a sassy, funny, playful side. Her young age gives her just the right amount of puppy energy and spunk, and she will happily zoom around the yard and play with her foster dog brothers. She keeps everyone entertained with her silly puppy antics! At the end of the day though, her favorite place is tucked safely under her favorite blanket. She is all about snuggles, belly rubs, and being as close to her people as possible. A perfect lap dog who would love to spend all day next to her person.

She is dog friendly and enjoys playing with the other dogs in her foster home. Of course, her size needs to be considered with other dogs in the home!

She is kid friendly with both younger and older children. She is shy natured around new people, and because of her small size will need children who are dog-savvy and understand how to respect her space and be considerate of her size!

Potty trained, knows a few commands.
