Description
Dog Breed: Boston Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed. Introducing Leonard! This certified Couch Potato will snuggle his way right into your heart. Leonard is a 5-year-old, 13-pound Boston Terrier / Chihuahua mix with a gentle and loving spirit. Leonard entered foster care from a hoarding situation and has warmed up to other dogs in the home. He would do best in a home with a confident dog friend to keep showing him the ropes. Previously, he had never spent any time outside, so a fenced in yard is required. Leonard is a quick learner, who has taken to house breaking, crate training, and scheduled mealtimes. He is a little anxious and nervous when approached but quickly wiggles in for pets, scratches, belly rubs, and kisses. This little Love Bug will make a wonderful companion in a calm home, possibly with seniors. He loves his naps and is willing to hang out all day, chill, and receive the love. Leonard is being neutered on Feb 2, 2026 and will be available for adoption shortly thereafter. You can apply today for Leonard the Love Bug at pawsacrosspittsburgh/adopt.

Breed overview
Overview:
The "Boston Huahua" is a charming and increasingly popular designer breed, a delightful cross between the spirited Boston Terrier and the feisty Chihuahua. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of both parents, this breed typically inherits a compact size, usually weighing between 8-15 pounds, with a short, smooth coat that can display a variety of colors, often mimicking the Boston Terrier's tuxedo pattern or the Chihuahua's solid hues. Physically, they often feature expressive eyes and alert ears. Temperamentally, Boston Huahuas are known for being affectionate, lively, and intelligent companions. They are generally adaptable to both apartment living and homes with yards, provided they receive sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. Their moderate energy levels and playful nature make them suitable for families, though early socialization is crucial, especially with children and other pets. Health-wise, potential concerns can include patellar luxation, dental issues, and respiratory sensitivities, inherited from their parent breeds. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet are key to their well-being, ensuring a long and happy life for these endearing little dogs.
