Description
Dog Breed: Boston Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed. Available for Adoption: Meet Murphy! A quirky little lady with a big heart and even bigger personality! Murphy is a 6-year-old Boston Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a past that tugged at our hearts — and a future that's looking brighter every day. This pint-sized sweetheart came to us under the assumption that she was pregnant, but after close monitoring, we confirmed she was not expecting — and thankfully, no tumors were found either as was initially feared. Medical Journey & Recovery. Murphy battled a severe dental and gum infection that we couldn't treat right away due to the pregnancy concern. Once cleared, she underwent a successful spay and major dental surgery on September 2nd, where 20 teeth were extracted (and she was already missing 4). That’s 24 teeth in total — but don’t worry, it hasn’t slowed her down one bit! She’s since recovered beautifully and is healthy, happy, and ready for her forever home. Temperament: A bit shy at first, then a total love bug. Favorite things: Walks, belly rubs, and greeting you with her signature “welcome home” song Personality: Loyal, affectionate, and low-key hilarious once she feels safe. Despite her sometimes serious “mean mug,” Murphy is an absolute cuddle bug once she trusts you she will be your little shadow — the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend. She is crate trained, potty trained, great with kids, cats and all dogs. She has had 2 vet visits, is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, 4 DX test (testing for Lyme disease and two types of tick-borne illnesses), flea/tick/heartworm prevention (Nexgard Plus), two dewormings, and a fecal test. Adopters will receive all original paperwork, a 14-day health guarantee, a collar, harness, leash, seatbelt lock, and a week's worth of food. We operate on a first-come, first-served basis and are by appointment only. We are located in Mesa near Gilbert/Brown & offer flexible hours for meet-and-greet appointments. Private message if interested!

Breed overview
Overview:
The "Boston Huahua" is a charming and increasingly popular designer breed, a delightful cross between the spirited Boston Terrier and the feisty Chihuahua. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of both parents, this breed typically inherits a compact size, usually weighing between 8-15 pounds, with a short, smooth coat that can display a variety of colors, often mimicking the Boston Terrier's tuxedo pattern or the Chihuahua's solid hues. Physically, they often feature expressive eyes and alert ears. Temperamentally, Boston Huahuas are known for being affectionate, lively, and intelligent companions. They are generally adaptable to both apartment living and homes with yards, provided they receive sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. Their moderate energy levels and playful nature make them suitable for families, though early socialization is crucial, especially with children and other pets. Health-wise, potential concerns can include patellar luxation, dental issues, and respiratory sensitivities, inherited from their parent breeds. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet are key to their well-being, ensuring a long and happy life for these endearing little dogs.
