Story
Paz is an adorable 1-year old, 10-pound Chihuahua mix dog who loves EVERYBODY—People, dogs, cats and chickens. He will greet any new person coming into the house and happily accept scritches.
Paz is very energetic and would do best in a house with another dog to play with. He loves to play fetch and tug-of-war. Open the back door and he’ll zip around the back yard doing his zoomies so fast he’s a blur. He enjoys meeting new dogs and would be a great little guy to take to the dog park.
As an older puppy, Paz has his manners down. He is housebroken, though you should expect accidents until he learns your schedule for going outside. He is leash-trained, and you should plan to walk him daily. He rarely barks and knows his canine etiquette. He is very smart: you only need to show him a command 3 times before he has it down. He is learning to come when called. Fair warning, though, he still has plenty of puppy in him, and anything left on the floor—paper, plastic bags, etc.--is fair game.
When he’s done with his puppy antics, Paz likes to settle down in Foster Dogmom’s lap. He loves neck scratches and chin scritches. He will happily listen to you go on and on about what a good boy he is. He also loves to be brushed. He would like very much to sleep in his dog parent’s bed, though Foster Dogmom doesn’t allow it and he has adjusted.
Pax came to us as a stray from the streets of the Rio Grande valley in southern Texas and deserves a much better life than the one he’s had up until now. He would make an excellent dog for a family or active couple. And, as stated earlier, he would thrive with another dog buddy to play with.
Paz is neutered, has all his shots, and is microchipped. He is heartworm-negative.
Note:
We always respond first to inquiries that tell us something about your living situation (house, apartment, single, family, etc.) and why you want this dog. Be sure to include your phone number in your inquiry. We call inquiries that seem to be a good fit for the dog.
