Chihuahua x Italian Greyhound up for adoption, male 2yo

Menlo Park CA

Description

Buster is a 2-year-old Italian Greyhound x Chihuahua mix who weighs approximately 7.6 lbs. While Buster may look like a small, fragile pup, this little guy is more than he looks! He loves to hike and will play with dogs bigger than him, holding his own. He's a great mix of playful energy, chill, and snuggle! He is good with dogs, kids, and is housetrained. Buster can sleep for hours on the couch during the day and loves to snuggle under the covers at night if you let him in the bed. He is happy to be close to you. He will also have moments where he's bursting with energy and will want to play, chew on things, or run around in the yard. Buster is looking for a calm, confident person to make him feel secure in the world, as he can bark at people and dogs on leash. Buster is housetrained and has not had any accidents in the foster home. Buster is not yet crate-trained. He loves to chew apart and take the stuffing out of any stuffed toys so he needs to be supervised with this kind of toy or given more durable ones. Buster is a very vocal dog, so his forever family should be okay with this or confident in training him not to bark. He barks at strange or loud noises - especially at night. Buster is only an option for homes that have had a dog of their own as an adult. If there are any children in the home they need to be over the age of eight.
