ENZO - PAPILLON / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Papillon / Chihuahua / Mixed. Enzo is a super sweet and loving pup. He needs a little time and patience, go slow and let him come to you. Once he trusts you, his goofy, affectionate personality will shine through and completely melt your heart. One of his cutest quirks? If you howl, he’ll “sing” right along with you — it’s absolutely adorable! Energy Level? Medium House trained? Yes. I would say he can hold his potty for up to 8 hours. He will let you know if he has to go by walking over to the door. If you don't take him out right away, he will run to you, then run back to the door until you take him out. Describe how they are on a leash? At first, he was afraid of the leash and would freeze when I put it on. Now he walks twice a day and has learned that it's not so scary. At times, he needs some gentle encouragement to continue to walk. He is getting more comfortable each day. Describe how they are with other dogs? Enzo is great with other dogs. He ignores most, but he will sometimes find one that he wants to play with. It's adorable when he does. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Enzo has met one cat. He was very curious. Slow introductions on leash would be advised. Commands they know? He does not know any commands yet, but is working on the sit command. What are their favorite things? Cuddling with his favorite humans, small plushy squeaky toys, treats, and dog park What do they need to work on? He still needs confidence walking on the leash and basic commands. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He has been left with the resident dog, two days a week, for 8 hours. He has also been left by himself for up to 4 hours. He does well and mostly sleeps. Where do they sleep? On his dog bed, but he's also allowed on the bed. He is a great snuggler. What is their ideal home? Enzo would do great in a calm, patient home. He gets along well with gentle children, adults, and other mellow dogs, but can feel overwhelmed by dogs that play too roughly. His perfect family will give him time to build confidence and continue working with him on daily walks. Enzo travels well in the car when crated — it helps him feel safe and secure. Outside of his crate, he gets nervous and may try to climb on his person, so a secure crate is the best way for him to enjoy car rides comfortably and safely.
