Chestnut's Story

Meet Chestnut!<br/><br/>Breed: Chihuahua Mix<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Age: Adult<br/>Size: Small (11 lbs)<br/>Good with: Female dogs, people who appreciate a mystery<br/><br/>Chestnut is a bit of an enigma—we're still getting to know this handsome little Chihuahua mix! At 11 pounds of mysterious charm, he came to us with two female dogs who he seemed to get along with just fine. However, we suspect he'd likely prefer to bully boy dogs, which means he's got that classic small-dog "I'm in charge here" energy when it comes to his male canine counterparts.<br/><br/>Since we're still learning about Chestnut's personality, his future family gets the exciting opportunity to help us discover who he really is! What we do know is that he's an adult dog who's ready to show his true colors once he settles into a home and feels secure. He's a blank slate waiting to be filled in with all the quirks, preferences, and personality traits that make him special.<br/><br/>Chestnut would likely do best in a home with female dogs or as the only dog where he doesn't have to navigate male dog politics. He's the perfect size for apartment living, and at 11 pounds, he's portable, manageable, and just the right amount of dog for someone looking for a smaller companion.<br/><br/>If you're ready for a bit of a mystery and enjoy the process of getting to know a dog as they reveal their personality over time, Chestnut is waiting to show you who he can become!<br/><br/>Ready to welcome Chestnut into your life?

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 may occur 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.
