cts: Name: Genesis Breed: Chihuahua Mix Age: 7 months old Weight: 6 lbs. House-Trained: Working on it! Crate-Trained: Almost! Good with Dogs: Yes (can be a little skittish at first) Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Medium & Loving Fence Required: Not required but preferred About Genesis’s Breed: Our best guess is that Genesis is a Chihuahua mixed breed. Chihuahuas are tiny, spirited dogs known for their big personalities and deep devotion to their people. They’re alert, expressive, and often form strong bonds with their favorite humans, loving nothing more than to snuggle close and feel secure. Despite their small size, they’re confident, playful, and full of charm. Their ideal home is calm, gentle, and attentive — a place where they can warm up at their own pace and stay close to their people once they feel safe. Chihuahuas thrive with families who understand their sensitive nature, enjoy cuddles, and can provide consistent routines, soft handling, and plenty of love. What to Love about Genesis: Genesis is working hard on her potty training, already crate trained, and loves people with her whole tiny being! Genesis is a snuggle under the covers kind of girl, happiest when she’s curled up close to her humans. She has an adorable habit of collecting her toys and placing them exactly where she wants them, like a little treasure curator! Genesis can be a bit skittish at first, so she’ll need a family willing to go slow and let her warm up at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she bonds deeply and becomes incredibly affectionate. She loves playing with her toys, running around the yard, and taking neighborhood walks — she’s great on a leash and full of puppy energy. With other dogs, she may bark or feel unsure at first, but with proper introductions she settles in. She enjoys the company of cats and does well with them, and she’s sweet with kids who move gently and understand puppy energy. Genesis’s Glorious Highlights: • 7 month old, 6 lb Chihuahua mix with a sweet, gentle personality • Loves people and snuggling under the covers like a tiny cuddle bug • Cute habit of hoarding toys and placing them exactly where she wants them • Active, playful puppy who enjoys yard time, squeaky toys, and neighborhood walks • Crate trained and working hard on potty and leash training • Can be skittish at first but bonds deeply once she feels safe • Does well with cats and can coexist or play with dogs after slow introductions • Sweet with kids who move gently and understand puppy energy • Affectionate, loving, and happiest when she’s being held like a little baby If you’re looking for a loving, playful, cuddly little girl who will adore you once she feels secure, Genesis is ready to be your tiny best friend!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
