ANGUS - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Say hello to Angus! Angus is a male Chihuahua mix, born September 10, 2025 making him almost four-months-old. Angus and his brother Malcolm were rescued from a bad situation on a property that the rescue has been attempting to help over the years. This property has many dogs that are unfortunately unsocialized with people, and often sick. When we took in Angus and Malcolm, they both had mange infections and were quite fearful of people. They are doing better medically and their mange is clearing up nicely (this condition is not contagious). Angus does still have some hair-loss on his face from the mange, but we expect this will grow in over time. Both boys are also doing great with their people socialization and are showing us what happy, friendly little puppies they are. Angus is the more outgoing of the two and will be the first to crawl in your lap for pets. He is still initially avoidant/shy and because of this we recommend he goes to a child-free home, or a home with older children. Angus enjoys all the classic puppy things; playing with his brother and other dogs, chasing toys, and zooming around! Angus currently weighs just over three-pounds. His adoption fee of $400 includes vaccinations, microchip, and eventual neuter surgery at the PAWS clinic on Cave Creek Road in Phoenix. Per our vet, we do not alter puppies until around five months, which helps with hormone development and bone growth. Adopters will sign a contract that you will bring your puppy to the PAWS clinic for neuter surgery, sometime in February 2026.
