Description
Dog Breed: Italian Greyhound / Chihuahua / Mixed. Hi, I’m Mickey, I’ll be honest with you… the world can feel a little big and overwhelming at first. I might be shy when we meet, and sometimes my nerves get the best of me. But underneath that? I am a really sweet, people-loving guy who just wants connection. I don’t stay unsure for long. Once I feel safe, I lean in—literally. I seek out affection, attention, and reassurance, and I become a very happy, loving companion. I’m the kind of dog who wants to be near you, with you, part of your world. I’ve got a playful, active side too! Right now, I love to run (a lot!), so a fenced yard would make me very happy. Toys are still a bit new to me, but I’m starting to figure them out. Walks? We’re working on that—I can get a little unsure and would rather head back home—but with patience, I know I’ll get there. And when it comes to cuddling… oh, I’m all in. I might bring a little chaotic energy at first (okay, maybe I’ll bounce off you once or twice ), but then I settle in and just want to be close. I really do love my people. What I’m Looking For: I’m going to thrive with someone who understands that confidence takes time to build. I’ll need: Patience and encouragement as I continue learning the world is safe A consistent routine to help me feel secure Continued support with potty and crate training A home that can manage my energy (and ideally has a fenced yard!)I’m still learning, but I’m trying—and I’m worth it. A Few Honest Notes (Because You Deserve That): I’m still working on potty and crate training I may have accidents if left too long—I’m not quite ready for a full workday alone yet I can be a little sensitive around food with other dogs, so thoughtful management is importantBut here’s the thing… I’m improving every day. And once I’m settled, I am a really happy, loving dog who just wants to belong. Why You’ll Love Me Because when you choose me, you’re not just getting a dog—you’re getting a companion who will grow with you, trust you deeply, and love you in that quiet, meaningful way that only a once-shy dog can. If you’re willing to give me a little time… I promise I’ll give you my whole heart.

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.
