Lilo, pictured above, is a one-year-old 20 lb energetic Chiweenie who loves to play. She enjoys being outside so she can run and play with toys. After playtime outside she enjoys relaxing on her bed. She loves showing off her AKC tricks and her favorite is to “sit pretty.” Lilo would do best in an active home and would do well in a home with kids. She is a great watchdog and is protective of her family.
Paco, pictured left, is a 15 lb six-year-old short-haired Chihuahua mix. He is now ready to move to a loving home. Although Paco is deaf, he abides by the same commands the other dogs follow. He watches his trainer’s movement and knows what the signed command means. Paco is not very active but loves attention and performing his tricks, such as barking on command and rolling over. He enjoys being outside, however is more of a house dog, who loves to wrap up in a blanket for naps.
Stitch, pictured below, is a 12 lb four-year-old short-haired Chihuahua mix. He loves to play with children and is very smart and teachable. He learns tricks and rules very quickly from his trainer. He enjoys playing fetch and sitting pretty. He also loves to roll over especially when he is excited. Stitch is loving and caring and would do wonderful in a home with a lot of attention.
