Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Italian Greyhound / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 395. All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Taz is a 3-year-old chihuahua mix with long legs, a bouncy step, and a heart that chooses one person to adore. He is intensely loyal and devoted to his human, loves giving kisses, curling up on laps, and spending quiet family time. He is skittish by nature and would love a quiet home so he can blossom. He is very fearful of men, and he would succeed best in a home with females. Taz is crate-trained and sleeps all night without issue. He also finds refuge in his crate during the day. He gets along well with other dogs but clearly prefers human companionship. Taz is very fearful of cats because he is unsure of them. He is highly food-motivated and thrives with treats and positive reinforcement. His ideal home would be with a woman who is home most of the day, and who wants a devoted lap-loving companion, If you’re ready for a loyal little buddy who gives big affection, Taz is waiting to meet you. All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Italian Greyhuahua is a captivating hybrid breed, combining the spirited charm of the Chihuahua with the elegant grace of the Italian Greyhound. Originating from designer breed programs, these small companions typically inherit a slender, delicate build, often with the distinctive large ears of the Chihuahua and the refined muzzle of the Italian Greyhound. Their coats are generally short and smooth, coming in a variety of colors. Temperamentally, they are known for being affectionate and loyal, though they can exhibit a lively, sometimes feisty, personality. They are generally good for apartment living due to their size and moderate exercise needs, and can thrive in families that understand their need for a gentle environment and consistent training. Health-wise, potential concerns include patellar luxation, dental issues (common in Chihuahuas), and sensitivity to cold due to their thin coats. Early socialization is key to nurturing a well-rounded and confident companion.
