Terrier and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Cookie is afemale Chihuahua/Terrier mix with a big heart and the softest, snow-white scruffy coat you can imagine. Born at the end of November and weighing around 7 lbs, this scruffy-licious girl is as dainty as she is darling.

Cookie is a little more reserved and thoughtful—she likes to take everything in before jumping into the action. You’ll often find her watching the world around her, calmly assessing the fun before deciding how she’d like to join in. And when she does? She prances. She’s pretty, and she absolutely knows it.

She is incredibly sweet, comes reliably when called, and is a dedicated lap dog once she’s decided you’re her person. Cookie loves affection and thrives on quiet companionship, making her the perfect mix of gentle and social.

She gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes, respects senior dogs, and is very adaptable in new environments. Cookie would do wonderfully in a home looking for a loving little shadow with a touch of elegance.

The adoption fee of $500 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!

*please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
