Sweet little Chalupa is ready for hugs. This tiny, 8-pound miniature pinscher/chihuahua mix is super chill on laps, in crates, or in cars, but don't let her laid back temperament fool you -- she's totally confident and unafraid of meeting new people, new dogs, and new experiences. A cuddler extraordinaire, Chalupa would love to be by your side on all your adventures, but she's also content to stay behind in her crate and await your return. She enjoys taking walks (she's easygoing on leash), squeaky toys, and romping in the yard. She still has some basic training to do, but this little chalupa is sure to become your new best friend. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.

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.
