My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nikey is:
~A tripod puppy
~Completely house trained
~Crate trained
~Energetic
~Loyal
~Smart
~Playful
~Fast as lightning
~Quiet
~Can be mouthy during play time (typical puppy behavior)
His new family should be prepared:
~to educate and be vigilant with young children (children must be respectful of him and handle him with extreme care)
~to continue to keep him safe both inside and outside the home
~to continue to socialize him and teach him basic dog obedience
~to continue to walk and provide appropriate exercise to strengthen his legs
~to profesionally groom him regularly

Nikey is a Chihuahua/Papillon mix, around 8lbs. He is both energetic and fun as he is quiet and calm. Whoever is lucky to call him their own will blessed with an amazing dog! He will need joint supplements and ongoing monitoring of his remaining hind leg for the rest of his life. And, Nikey eats 3x/day to avoid vomiting caused by an empty tummy. We are looking for a home with kids age 10+, and potentially with another small dog for him to play with!
