Espresso's Story

Hi, I’m Espresso! I was born January 13, 2026, and I’m a Chihuahua/Terrier mix expected to grow into 25–40 pounds. Like my name suggests, I’ve got a little kick — but I’m more smooth roast than triple shot. I’m playful, observant, and quietly confident.<br/><br/>Why you’ll love me:<br/><br/>Toy Enthusiast – Chew toys are my specialty.<br/><br/>Observant Thinker – I like to take in the world before diving in.<br/><br/>Easygoing Nature – I roll with the flow.<br/><br/>Independent Streak – I’m comfortable doing my own thing too.<br/><br/>I’m still very young, so potty and leash training will be part of my growth journey. Luckily, I’m curious and thoughtful, which makes me a great candidate for learning new routines. I enjoy playing with my siblings but also don’t mind entertaining myself.<br/><br/>My dream home? One that appreciates a playful pup who also has a calm, observant side. I’d thrive with guidance, toys, and humans who enjoy watching a clever little mind at work.<br/><br/>My adoption fee is $550, this fee covers my first year of vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. Do I sound like the dog for you? You can fill out an application to adopt me at http://www.thecantufoundation.org/adopt.html
