Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Carlo Gizmo is a lovingly cuddly companion with big feelings about certain particulars in his world. He LOVES napping next to you on the couch and is an expert blanket-fort builder who will happily keep you company. At the same time, he has clear boundaries that must be respected — especially around sleeping spaces and fashion. Gizzy does best with his own cozy sleeping space and prefers to be his natural, fashion-free self. When his boundaries aren’t honored, he can turn into quite the little spicy bee, so he’s looking for a confident, consistent leader who can provide structure while enjoying a close, devoted bond. Carlo came to rescue from a local impound and is ready to start his next chapter with someone who understands that loyalty like his is a gift worth protecting.

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.
