About Miso’s Breed:
Our best guess is that Miso is a Chihuahua mixed breed Chihuahuas are known for their big personalities in tiny bodies, often forming strong bonds with their favorite people. They’re alert, expressive, and full of charm, with a playful streak that makes them endlessly entertaining. Despite their small size, they’re confident little companions who love being involved in whatever their humans are doing.
An ideal home for a Chihuahua is one that offers gentle handling, companionship, and a sense of security. They thrive with families who understand their delicate size and can provide a calm environment, cozy spots to snuggle, and positive guidance. Because they bond closely with their people, they do best in homes where they’re not left alone for long periods and where their affectionate, spirited nature can shine.
What to Love about Miso:
This little girl is the perfect blend of playful puppy energy and cuddly lap‑dog charm! When she’s not bouncing around with her toys or exploring the world on her walks, she’s happiest curled up in your lap, soaking in all the love she can get!
Miso is mostly potty trained but still has the occasional puppy accident as she continues learning. She’s already crate trained and will need to be crated when left alone since she’s still young and curious enough to get into things. She can be a bit of a “little guardian” with her toys and food, but she’s learning quickly and responds well to gentle guidance. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, does great with cats, and enjoys meeting people! Because of her puppy mouthiness, she’d do best with school‑aged kids who understand how to respect her boundaries.
She walks nicely on a leash, rides well in the car, and is picking up basic commands. With her medium energy level, she’s just as happy playing as she is relaxing. Miso is an easygoing, loving puppy who’s ready to bring joy, fun, and lots of snuggles to her forever family!
