Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $685. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 3 Months (as of 4/28/26) Weight: 6 lbs. (as of 4/28/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Chirp is one beautiful puppy! This sweet baby girl seems to be a little Chihuaha mix. She has been in her foster home for over a month and is described as affectionate, intelligent, resilient, mild mannered and carefree. Of course this pint sized pup brings her puppy energy but then she is good to chill in your lap. She has lived in a home with dogs of various sizes, adults, children and cats and has gotten along with everyone so far. She does well with an hour or two of activity a day and enjoys walks and playgroup in the yard with her other pup friends. Chirp uses bitey-mouth play, chase and wrestling with the other doggies. Chirp is still young and is not house or leash trained yet. She will benefit from obedience training. So far she is not a fan of the crate and will bark when she is in there but she has not had much experience with the crate so that could change. Chirp's size will need to be taken into consideration since she is mighty in personality but she is small in stature at just 6 lbs. Her foster family said that they love her spunk and her beautiful white coat and describe her as a perfect houseguest. Chirp is still a baby and has a lot to learn but she is described as smart and likes to please her humans which will serve her well in her training. While we don't know much about her background, we do know that Chirp is a beautiful goofy little pup looking for a lap to snuggle in. Is that lap yours? She is ready to learn with you and give you her love in return. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
