Story
Meet Pez!
12 pounds of personality, a whole lot of love, and a Belgian Malinois trapped in a Chiweenie’s body!
Hi, my name is Pez! I’m a 1 1/2 year-old Chihuahua mix weighing in at a whopping 12 pounds! I may have some daschund in there as well. That might make me a Chiweenie. I may be small, but don’t let my size fool you. I have a BIG personality, an even bigger heart, and enough charm to win over just about anyone!
I absolutely LOVE people! I’m friendly with everyone I meet, and once I decide you’re my person, congratulations—you’ve just acquired yourself a permanent little shadow! I’m what they call a Velcro dog. Wherever you go, I’ll happily tag along. After all, life is better when we’re together!
Now, let me tell you a little about how I ended up here because it’s quite the story!
I was discovered hiding underneath an abandoned house by some sheriff’s deputies who were training their K9s. Naturally, I thought this was my big break! I was ready to join the force, chase bad guys, and become the world’s smallest police dog. Unfortunately, nobody seemed interested in recruiting a 12-pound Chihuahua. Their loss! At least I got to hang out with all the big, tough working dogs that day. Between you and me, I’m pretty sure I’m a Belgian Malinois trapped in a Chihuahua’s body!
Speaking of big dogs, I LOVE them! I currently live in a foster home with multiple large dogs, and we get along wonderfully. I’m all about making doggy friends, and I would be thrilled to have a furry sibling or two in my forever home. Size doesn’t intimidate me one bit!
I’m also a pretty impressive little houseguest. I’m house trained, crate trained, and walk nicely on a leash. I love going for walks, exploring new places, running errands with my humans, and riding in the car. When I see my tiny harness come out, I’m ready to roll! Adventure awaits, people!
At home, I enjoy romping around the backyard and playing with my foster siblings. And TOYS! Oh my goodness, do I love toys! Balls, squeaky toys, stuffed animals—you name it, I want it. If you’re wondering whether I need my own toy basket, the answer is absolutely YES. Preferably a big one!
My foster family also says I may have been a circus acrobat in a previous life. Apparently, I’m quite the agile little fellow! I’m clever, athletic, and always ready to show off my moves. I’m also highly food motivated, which makes learning new things even more fun. Will work for treats!
But don’t let my playful side fool you. When the adventures are over, I’m all about the snuggles. There’s nothing better than curling up next to my favorite humans or piling onto the couch with my doggy friends. I can go from tiny acrobat to professional couch potato in record time!
I’m neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. All that’s missing is a family to call my very own.
So, what do you say? Looking for a pint-sized best friend with a giant personality, a heart full of love, and dreams of joining the K9 unit?
I’m your guy! My name is Pez, and I can’t wait to meet you!

P.S. If you happen to know any police departments looking for an undercover Chihuahua, I’m still available for consideration. Just saying!
