Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Meet Carlo — the Lap-Loving Puppeteer Extraordinaire Carlo is a snuggly lovebug who wants one thing in life: to be in your arms. Forget “velcro dog” — this guy is full-on puppeteer, tugging your heartstrings one gentle whine at a time until you scoop him up for another cuddle session. He’s decided that laps, arms, and blankets are his rightful kingdom, and he rules them with pure cuteness! While he doesn’t mind other dogs, he’d prefer they admire him from a respectful distance — he’s not into the whole “sniffing my face” thing. Honestly, he’d probably love being the only “child” so he can have your full attention for his favorite pastime: being adored… but siblings could be negotiated with some extra treats. Carlo has a bit of trouble with his eyesight, so he appreciates soft, slow hands when being picked up or handled. With gentle introductions to new accessories, he’ll show them off like the handsome gent he is. He’s housetrained, enjoys quiet time, and loves snuggling when… well… always.This guy’s sweetness will have your heartstrings dancing to his tune like the master puppeteer he is. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who’ll love you like it’s his full-time job (with unlimited overtime cuddles), Carlo is ready to clock in. Carlo is from a local impound.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Chipin, a lively cross between the Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher, originated in the United States as a designer breed. These small yet sturdy dogs typically weigh between 5-10 pounds, boasting a short, smooth coat that comes in various colors like black, tan, chocolate, and fawn. Physically, they often inherit the Chihuahua’s apple-shaped head or the Miniature Pinscher’s sleek build, with expressive eyes and alert ears. Temperamentally, Chipins are known for being affectionate, energetic, and surprisingly courageous, often displaying a "big dog" personality in a small package. They can be excellent companions for individuals or families with older children, and their compact size makes them highly suitable for apartment living, provided they receive adequate exercise. While generally healthy, potential health concerns include patellar luxation, dental issues, and heart conditions, inherited from their parent breeds. Early socialization and consistent training are crucial for a well-adjusted Chipin.
