Yorkshire Terrier and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Merrillville, Indiana

Meet Harriet... aka “6 Pounds of Suspicious Potato” 🐾

Hi. Yes, I’m Harriet. I’m about 2 years old, a whopping 6 pounds, and before you say it—yes, I am small enough to fit in your hoodie pocket. No, you may not pick me up immediately. We are strangers. Please respect my boundaries. 🙂

Let’s get one thing straight: I am not mean... I am cautiously fabulous. The world is a big, weird place and I have questions about all of it. When we first meet, I might give you my “excuse me, who are you?” warning. It’s not personal—I just have a very thorough screening process. Think of it as an exclusive club, and I’m the bouncer.

But here’s the deal... if you give me a couple of hours (yes, HOURS, I like to keep things dramatic), I will decide you are acceptable. And then? Oh, then you’re in.

Once you’re in, I transform into a professional lap warmer, certified cuddle bug, and tiny shadow who believes your personal space is actually our space. I love to sit in your lap like I pay rent there, and honestly, I bring emotional support... so it’s a fair trade.

Other dogs? Love ‘em. They make me feel like I have backup in this strange world. Humans? You just have to earn it. But trust me—I’m worth it.

So if you’re patient, understanding, and looking for a tiny best friend with a big personality (and a slight trust fund of sass), I’m your girl.
