About Johnny’s Breed Mix:
Chihuahua mixes may be small in size, but they’re enormous in heart. Known for forming deep bonds with their people, they’re affectionate, alert, and full of personality. With a curious mind and a spirited nature, they’re often clever little characters who thrive with gentle guidance and consistent love. A Chihuahua mix brings sass, snuggles, and devotion—all wrapped in a small, expressive package.

Johnny’s Story & Personality:
Johnny had a tough start to life—he lived outside and had to fend for himself, which likely explains why he doesn’t love sharing his food. But that hasn’t stopped him from blossoming into a joyful, playful boy in his foster home. He’s got the cutest zoomies and an irresistible puppy grin. Johnny loves to play with other dogs his size or larger, but prefers to be the one in charge. He is crate trained, leash trained, and enjoys going on neighborhood walks. After playtime, he’s ready to snuggle up and keep you warm. Mealtime is his favorite, so he should be fed separately to keep things peaceful. This independent little guy is affectionate, smart, and ready for a loving home to call his own.

Johnny’s Perfect Home:



Fenced yard to safely zoom and play


A dog-savvy adopter who can respect his food boundaries


Possibly another dog his size or larger, pending a meet-and-greet


Someone who enjoys an affectionate yet independent pup


A home ready for an active, fun-loving companion
