BEEJAY - CHIHUAHUA / RAT TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. BeeJay is a sweet, small (but very tall) dog with a calmer energy that sets him apart from the typical high-strung Chihuahua. He came from a hoarding situation and is now discovering what it really means to be a dog — and he is ready to bloom! BeeJay is curious about his surroundings and interested in exploring, especially outdoors. He enjoys going for walks and does well on a least. Occasionally a new noise will concern or startle him but a hug from his trusted human is all he needs to feel reassured and resume his activities. Because he's not a fan of loud and rambunctious environments, he would do best in a calm home with older, respectful children. BeeJay is happiest when he is next to his human and is the perfect snuggle bug. He is always ready to cuddle - anywhere, anytime. In the rarer instances when BeeJay doesn't pick cuddling as his activity, one of BeeJay’s favorite things is doing zoomies around his foster home. His foster mom will wiggle her fingers and off he goes — full speed! It’s a great reminder of the playful spirit hiding under his quiet demeanor. Here’s a video and another one of BeeJay rabble-rousing in the cushions. BeeJay adjusted quickly to his foster home and has been doing very well with potty training. This little guy is ready for a second chance at life with someone who will love him, teach him, and let him feel safe. Because of his past he could benefit by having a friendly companion dog to help show him the ropes, but he would also be content getting all the love as an only dog. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion with a bit of playful charm, BeeJay just might be the one. Here’s a video and another one of BeeJay rabble-rousing in the cushions. BeeJay is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
