Durango Australian Terrier & Yorkshire Terrier Mix Los Alamitos, CA

Please read the dog's entire bio before you apply. Sadly, we are no longer able to respond to every application, but will contact the one that is a good match within 5 days.
Durango is a male terrier mix, we guess australian terrier mix but he does have a rough terrier coat, not like a yorkie. He is 6 yrs and 9.5 lbs with a short cute tail that wags nonstop. Durango is active, determined, good on the leash and very treat motivated, very much a little confident terrier who will need a home willing to provide exercise and stability.
Durango is a smiley little guy who loves to play! He loves his toys, and will always bring them over to you to play with him. He will put the toy in your hand so you can play tug with him, and whenever he gets the toy away from you he will put it right back in your hand again! And if you manage to get it from him, he’s waiting for you to throw it and fetch it. When he’s not playing, he just wants to cuddle with you and give you kisses. He will lay right next to you with his head on your lap for as long as you will let him. He is good on a leash, with his potty training, and likes to be held. He is very treat motivated, and should pick up any new training fairly quickly. Durango is friendly and loves meeting new people and dogs outside the home (unsure about cats and kids). In the home he is protective of his person and will need an owner experienced with stuborn little terriers and no children. He would love to be an only dog and a little shadow to his person, he bonds quickly and strongly.
