Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Italian Greyhound / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300. **Meet Cinnamon - Your Pocket-Sized Adventure Buddy** This 1-year-old, 7.5lb Chihuahua mix is the perfect blend of spunky and sweet. Cinnamon's favorite things? Squeaky toys, squirrel-watching (okay, squirrel-*chasing*), and being your constant companion whether you're hiking three miles or binge-watching your favorite show. **What makes Cinnamon special:** She's a true velcro dog who bonds deeply with her people - soul dog potential for sure. This smart little dynamo walks beautifully on leash, is housetrained, and gets along great with people and other dogs (though she appreciates a gentle intro with new pups). She's adventurous and athletic, frequently walking on her hind legs like a tiny T-Rex, and absolutely loves tug of war. At home, she is happy to nap most of the day — but pick up her walking harness and she gets super excited! Loves getting scritches and giving kisses. She would be a good dog for a first-time dog owner. **What Cinnamon needs:** Her ideal home will help her work through some separation anxiety - she really hates being left behind. She would probably be a great dog to bring to work — as long as her people are around, she's happy. She is very calm in the car and does not get carsick. She's lean and gets chilly easily, though she's adamant that sweaters are NOT her style (but she's small enough to tuck into your jacket!). A home without cats would be best, as this girl has a serious prey drive. She'd thrive as an only dog or with calm, easy-going canine siblings. **Cinnamon's story:** Rescued from Salinas Animal Shelter by Grateful Dogs Rescue, Cinnamon was scared and shut down in the shelter but has absolutely flourished in her foster home. She's ready to find her forever family who will appreciate her big personality in a tiny package. Could this playful, cuddly, squeaky-toy-obsessed little charmer be your perfect match? Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for CINNAMON is $300. If you are interested in adopting CINNAMON , please complete our online adoption application at .gratefuldogsrescue/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area. See our other available dogs at .gratefuldogsrescue/available-dogs/

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.
