*HOWIE WHITE GANGSTER - CHIHUAHUA / RAT TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Howie – Approximately 6-Year-Old Neutered Male Chihuahua Mix – 18 lbs Howie – Approximately 6-Year-Old Neutered Male Chihuahua Mix – 18 lbs Meet Howie, a resilient and gentle Chihuahua mix weighing 18 lbs and approximately 6 years old. This sweet boy came to us from Visalia Animal Services, where he was shut down and scheduled for euthanasia. We couldn’t let that happen. Fully vaccinated, microchipped, parasite-free, and neutered, Howie is now ready for his forever home. When Howie first arrived, he was frightened and unsure. With patient love in his foster home, he has gone from hiding under the table to seeking out affection and praise. He’s still cautious but is making steady progress each day. Howie is quiet, enjoys lounging in a cozy bed or next to his person, and is content simply being in a safe, calm environment. He’s potty trained in his foster home but may need a short adjustment period in a new setting. He is learning leash skills and now enjoys relaxing outdoors in the sunshine. Howie gets along with cats and prefers a low-key lifestyle. While he hasn’t met young children, we believe he’d do well with respectful older kids. Howie would thrive in a patient, loving home willing to continue building his confidence and showing him the world can be kind. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, gentle companion who will adore you for life.
