Meet Newton — a 1-year-old, 11 lb Chihuahua mix with stunning green eyes and a heart that’s learning to trust and love again.
Quick Facts:
Name: Newton
Breed: Chihuahua Mix
Age: 1 year old
Weight: 11 lbs
House-Trained: About 70% there!
Crate-Trained: Yes
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: A little scared of cats
Good with Kids: Yes, with older kids

About Newton’s Breed:
Chihuahuas are bold, confident and loyal. They are affectionate with their people but can be wary of strangers but warm up quickly. They are intelligent and trainable, though they may be a little stubborn at times, but they keep it interesting! They are also known to be vocal and love to “chit chat”!
Newton is a gentle soul with a playful streak and a head tilt that’ll melt your heart. When his foster mom talks to him, he tilts his head side to side like he’s hanging on every word! He’s about 70% potty trained, fully crate trained, and working hard to adjust to the comforts of a loving home.
Newton’s Noteworthy Highlights:
• Beautiful green eyes and an expressive little face
• Crate trained, and progressing well with potty training
• Loves toys, treats, and outdoor playtime
• Medium energy—active in the yard, mellow on the couch
• Dog-friendly, and loves to play with canine pals
• Nervous around new people, but warms up with patience
• Best with older, respectful kids—quick movements scare him
• Scared of cats, but open to learning
• Still learning leash confidence, but loves to explore
• A little food guarding behavior, likely from a tough past
• Affectionate and cuddly, loves being near his people
• Will crawl up your leg for love and snacks
Newton is still a puppy at heart—curious, sensitive, and full of potential. He’s looking for a patient, loving family who will let him blossom at his own pace. With time, tenderness, and a cozy couch to snuggle on, Newton will become the most loyal little companion you could ask for.
If you’re ready to help a sweet pup heal and thrive, Newton is ready to tilt his head and love you right back!
