Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Pomeranian / Mixed. Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianepluckydoganimalrescue) for more information about this pet. wrong island! MAUI NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Maui Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua and Pomeranian mix Best Guess for Age: 2 year as of January 2026 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 9.3 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Puerto Rico shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here! Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Maui would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Maui is Looking For: An explanation! This gorgeous boy wants to know why he was named Maui when he's from Puerto Rico. He also wants his own humans for sniffy walks and romps and all the adventures his new family can dream up - he can't wait to explore the DC area! Quiet time as his humans brush out his long fluffy coat at the end of a fun day together and snuggles - yes, those too, please. But you know what he wants most of all? To be safe and loved, to know where be belongs. What do you say? Can you see Maui way down there by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once he has spent time in foster care. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.

More About Chiranian Breed
Overview:
The Chiranian, also affectionately known as a "Pomchi," is a charming hybrid breed resulting from the cross between a Chihuahua and a Pomeranian. Originating from designer breed efforts to combine the desirable traits of both parents, this small companion dog typically inherits a compact size, usually weighing between 4-10 pounds. Their physical appearance can vary, often featuring the long, soft coat of a Pomeranian in various colors, coupled with the alert, expressive eyes of a Chihuahua. Temperamentally, Chiranians are generally affectionate, lively, and intelligent, though they can exhibit a "big dog" personality in a small package, sometimes prone to being vocal. They are highly adaptable, making them an excellent choice for apartment living and can be suitable for families with older, respectful children. Health-wise, like many small breeds, they can be prone to dental issues, luxating patellas, and tracheal collapse, making regular veterinary check-ups essential for a long, happy life.
