Geode

Meet Geode, the 10-pound chihuahua who—much like the rock he’s named after—may look a little tough on the outside, but crack open that shell (respectfully, patiently, and with consent) and you’ll discover a sparkling little gem inside. At about 3.5 years old, this guy is smart, athletic, and fully aware that he is the main character in his own story.<br/><br/>Geode is the kind of pup who appreciates life’s finer things: high-value snacks, well-timed praise, and humans who understand the importance of personal space. He likes affection, absolutely—just on his terms. Think of him as the canine equivalent of that friend who gives the best hugs but only when the vibe is right. Ignore his boundaries, and he won’t hesitate to remind you that he’s serious about them. Respect them, and you’ll earn access to his inner sparkle.<br/><br/>He’s treat motivated, which makes training a breeze, especially for someone willing to use his big brain for good rather than mischief. Want a pup who leaps, learns, zips around the yard, and keeps you on your toes? Geode is your guy. Active, attentive, and always taking notes, he’ll happily join you on adventures—as long as you promise clear communication and no funny business.<br/><br/>Geode is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. His 4DX test is negative, so he’s medically ready to rock and roll.<br/><br/>If you’ve been waiting for a small dog with smarts, sass, sparkle, and strong boundaries, Geode is ready to shine for the right person—preferably one who appreciates that the best treasures are the ones you earn.<br/><br/>Want to meet him?
