This middle-aged Terrier/Chihuahua mix is a smart, adaptable boy who’s recently completed a 6 day in-house training program and it shows. He’s gained great self-control, listens well, and knows his commands. He’s the kind of dog who thrives when he has clear structure and a confident leader.

Boo-Boo is a sweet companion, but he’s also a dog who appreciates respect for his boundaries. He’s not a fan of being picked up and may give a low growl if he’s handled too roughly. Because of this, he’d do best in an adult-only home ideally with someone calm, patient, and experienced who understands dog behavior.

What to know about Boo-Boo:
• House-trained and responsive to commands
• Rides great in the car (jumps in and out on his own!)
• Best with adults only no small children
• Prefers respectful handling and personal space
• Loyal, observant, and bonds closely with his person
• 12-13 lbs
• Microchipped
• Approximately 6 years old
• Would be best as an only dog
• He’s more of a “no cats, please” kind of guy.

We think Boo-Boo would be an amazing match for an older gentleman or someone looking for a steady, devoted companion who doesn’t need constant fuss just understanding and leadership.

If you’re the kind of person who “gets” dogs like Boo-Boo, he will absolutely get you right back.

Adoption donation is only $150
