Bastian's Story

Meet Bastian!<br/><br/>Breed: Chihuahua x Yorkie Mix<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Age: 7 years old<br/>Size: Small (7.3 lbs)<br/>Good with: Other dogs, but honestly prefers his people<br/><br/>Bastian is a sweet little gentleman with a very specific life goal: find the humans and acquire ALL the pets. This tiny 7-pound charmer has a built-in human-detection system that works at distances up to 50 yards. Even in a crowded room full of dogs, Bastian will zero in on the nearest person like a heat-seeking missile of affection. Other dogs? Sure, they're fine. But people? Now THAT'S what he's here for.<br/><br/>He's the perfect blend of Chihuahua sass and Yorkie devotion, which means he's got opinions but he's also completely devoted to his favorite humans. Bastian actively seeks out attention—he won't just wait politely for you to notice him, he'll make sure you know he's there and ready for his regularly scheduled affection appointment. Think of him as a tiny, furry reminder that you should probably be petting a dog right now.<br/><br/>While Bastian gets along fine with other dogs, he's definitely a people-dog through and through. He'd be happiest as an only dog where he doesn't have to share the spotlight, but he could also work in a home with other chill dogs who won't compete for human attention. At just over 7 pounds, he's the perfect lap-sized companion who will happily supervise your every activity, ride shotgun on errands, and remind you constantly that he exists and would like some love, please.<br/><br/>Bastian needs a home that understands his mission in life is to be adored, and is willing to provide ample opportunities for him to fulfill that destiny. If you're looking for a portable best friend who thinks you're the greatest thing since sliced bread, Bastian is your guy!<br/><br/>Ready to welcome Bastian into your life? Contact us to meet this wonderful boy!<br/><br/>Disclaimer: The information in this profile reflects observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment. We strive to describe each dog as accurately as possible; however, behavior and needs may change once the dog is in a new home, routine, or environment. Our dogs are not freeroaming in homes. When we note that a dog is "potty trained," this refers to reliable crate training, not confirmed freeroam house training. Accidents are normal during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected. All dogs are examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered if old enough, and are up to date on ageappropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. We share all known medical information, but we cannot guarantee future health or rule out underlying conditions.<br/><br/>ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, and final contract. The application to adopt can be found at www.happyfacespetranch.org<br/><br/>Once your application has been approved, a representative will be in touch to set up a meet and greet. We select the best applicant for each dog based on the dog's individual needs.
