Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Adoption Fee: 495.00. Meet Reese — a 1 year old, 7 lb Chihuahua mix with a glossy red coat, amber eyes, and a personality as bright as her coloring! Quick Facts: Name: Reese Breed: Chihuahua Mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 7 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Not tested Good with Kids: Best with kids over 12 who can respect her size Energy Level: Medium Fence Required: No Dog's Location: Sanford About Reese’s Breed: Our best guess is that Reese is a Chihuahua mixed breed. Chihuahuas are tiny dogs with big, expressive personalities. Despite their small size, they’re known for being bold, loyal, and deeply attached to their people. Many are affectionate lap dogs, while others have a bit of sass and independence — but all tend to carry themselves with confidence. They’re alert, intelligent, and often quite spirited, making them both entertaining and endearing companions. Their small size also makes them well suited for apartment living and easy to take along on daily adventures. An ideal home for a Chihuahua is one that can offer gentle handling, companionship, and consistent routines. Because they’re small and can be sensitive to rough play, they typically do best with adults or respectful, older children. They thrive in homes where they can be close to their people, enjoy cozy spots, and receive regular mental stimulation through short walks, playtime, and enrichment. With proper socialization and a loving environment, a Chihuahua becomes a devoted, lively, and charming little family member. What to Love about Reese: She’s playful, cuddly, mischievous in the cutest way, and still very much a puppy at heart! Reese is super smart, highly trainable, and just a little stubborn — especially when it’s raining and she’s expected to go outside like a proper lady. But she’s potty trained, crate trained, and easy to care for, making her a delightful companion. Reese loves all people and would likely do well with older, respectful children (12 year old and up). She’s fantastic with dogs of all sizes and wants nothing more than to PLAY — chase balls, romp with dog friends, zoom around the house, and chew on toys. She’d adore having a playful doggie sibling, but she’s also perfectly happy being the Queen Bee of the home. She hasn’t met cats yet, but she’s open to a meet and greet. With a moderate energy level, Reese gets adorable zoomies morning, noon, and night, then snoozes peacefully in her crate during the day and sleeps well at night. She enjoys her walks and is good on a leash — she just needs a little guidance to stay by your side instead of zig zagging with excitement. Reese is an easygoing goofball who brings joy wherever she goes! Reese would make a wonderful addition to almost any family — whether she’s your first dog or your twentieth. She’s loving, lively, and full of personality, ready to brighten her forever home with playtime, cuddles, and endless charm!
