Tinsel

Update 11/14/25. Tinsel (now Truffle) was returned to us over 13 years after adoption. Her family was facing health issues and could not continue to care for her. She is now 14.5 year old and just as cute as ever... just a bit older and more gray. Tinsel is 7..8 lbs with soft fuzzy hair, big ears and a trusting personality. Tinsel is missing many teeth from numerous dentals over the years and has a heart murmur that does not seem to be bothering her at this time. She is blind in her right eye. We would love to see her live out the rest of her years in a quiet home, she is really no trouble except she only eats chicken for now.<br/>Tinsel is an adorable little chi/terrier. She is the color of an australian shepherd, the size of a chihuahua and the personality of a lovebug. She loves to be with people and is very submissive and gentle. She is housetrained, good on the leash and in the car and is a very easy little dog. She is good with other dogs of all sizes and a great little houseguest.<br/><br>Most of our dogs are not available to an out of the area adoption because of difficulty to follow up. If you do not live within a 2 hr drive of Orange County, please email us before applying to see if the dog you are interested is may be a candidate for long distance adoption. <br/><br><br>If you are interested in adopting one of our special babies, please visit our main website for adoption procedures at www.pupsandpals.net and then fill out our application.
