PIKACHU - CHIHUAHUA / YORKSHIRE TERRIER YORKIE / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 300. Breed: Chihuahua/Yorkie mix Age: 1-2 years Weight: 11 lbs Status: Ready to electrify your heart Pikachu is equal parts sass and snuggle. She’ll zoom around the room like she’s chasing invisible sparkles, then curl up in your lap like she’s been there forever. She’s playful, curious, and has a mischievous streak that’ll keep you laughing—especially when she tries to “talk” you into one more treat. Pikachu is living with another scruffy terrier mix and the two get along well. They go on city walks together. They sunbath side-by-side and they rush to down the stairs to potty every morning. She loves squeaky toys and is learning her basic commands like a champ. She knows sit and most of the time, she knows stay. Pikachu does have room for improvement on her leash manners. She is reactive to other dogs and of course, those pesky bikes and scooters can cause her to bark. Pikachu and her foster mom have been working hard on this behavior and even attended training thanks to our friends at Bernal Beast. Pikachu is fantastic when off-leash at the dog park! She gets along with the other dogs in the park. While at the dog park, Pikachu runs, plays, and explores ever corner of the dog park. Pikachu takes all of 3 to 4 minutes to warm up to new people, but she is aloof those short moments and then it is almost like she's known you forever. Pikachu does like both men and women. Pikachu has traveled on public transit and was the perfect rider. She behaved like a champ, and she loves car rides. Pikachu is an excellent eater and being treat motivated will help her new person (s) train her and to manage her leash manners. She has stayed home with the other scruffy terrier mix when foster mom is out and about and there has been no separation anxiety. Do know if your dog barks, little Pikachu will join the chorus but normally she is not the one that starts the barking. Whether you’re a seasoned trainer or just starting your journey, Pikachu is ready to be your loyal sidekick. Catch her while you can—this little spark is pure magic. Pikachu is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She's been doing fabulous on housetraining. She is on a strict routine and has not had an accident in weeks. Adoptions are in the SF Bay Area.
