Yorkshire Terrier and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in East Hartford, Connecticut

Meet Chaplin! He is a 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier/Chihuahua mix and weighs 7lbs. He has the personality of a teddy bear and the heart of a lion at his pint size. Chaplin adores human affection and loves to be the center of attention. He is a medium energy kind of guy and enjoys his walks, just as much as cuddles. He is learning his basic commands and how to walk on a leash.

We believe that Chaplin lived with the dog he was found roaming with (Charlie), but they are not bonded. They currently share a pen, but are content with being apart Chaplin may consider sharing his home with another similar sized dog(s). He may consider a home with gentle teenagers.
