PECAN - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Pecan is a chi mix puppy (born mid-July 2026) who is a tiny 4.6-pound bundle of pure joy! This sweet girl is adventurous, inquisitive, and friendly — she's ready to explore everything and loves making new friends, whether they have two legs or four. Pecan plays with the energy and enthusiasm only a puppy can bring, and once she's tuckered herself out, she's happiest snuggled up in a cozy lap for a well-deserved nap. She's great with other dogs and cats, and she's very comfortable around children, making her a wonderful fit for active families. Pecan is highly food motivated and is already learning commands like "sit" — she's eager to please and loves the training process. She gets along with everyone and has that special puppy charm that makes it hard not to fall instantly in love. Fair warning: Pecan is still working on potty training and doesn't quite have it down yet, so she'll need a family committed to consistency and patience as she learns. She thrives on playtime and exercise, so she'd do best with people who can give her the activity and attention she craves as she grows. If you're ready for an adventurous, affectionate little girl who will fill your days with love and laughter (and a little bit of puppy chaos), Pecan is waiting to meet you! If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will be in touch! The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
