Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Pomeranian / Mixed (medium coat). Benito is 12 lbs, probably 2-3 years old, and perhaps he's a Pom-Chi. He's very smart, very sweet and wants very much to be a very good boy! He's a very happy guy with just 2 speeds - ping-pong ball bouncing happily around the room & cuddly love bug falling asleep in your lap. Benito makes us smile every day with his silly antics and his sweet affection. He's a little nervous and skeptical, but he thrives when his human is calm & confident. We've also noticed he gains confidence from the other foster dogs he's living with. (We haven't seen him with larger dogs or cats yet) Here's some things that Benito is working on - Leash Training - it seems he's never been on a leash before and he thinks you're trying to strangle him with it. He still needs to gain some trust with the leash before we try taking him for a walk. House breaking - he's 99% there but still wears a diaper to prevent him from marking in the house. We expect this behavior to stop fully once he's neutered. He's an excellent rule follower and he'll do what you want if you're clear and confident with your communication... and if you understand that sometimes he just has ants in his pants and can't contain himself even though he's trying! We think Benito would thrive in a home with other calm, confident dogs calm, confident humans (young kids are probably too unpredictable for him) a fully fenced yard (cuz he's just not ready for a leash yet) Benito will have all his vaccinations and will be neutered before he is "officially" adopted, but that won't prevent him from joining your family now while he waits for that appointment. Does Benito sound like the perfect match for your home? Applying is the first step to meet him - APPLICATION (See our Dog Adoption FAQs before applying)

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.
