Meet Olaf, a delightful 9-week-old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix who currently weighs 4 pounds and is expected to grow a bit more. Olaf and his siblings were found abandoned in Houston, but this little guy is ready to embark on a new adventure! He’s described as the big teddy bear of the litter, with a confident and curious spirit. Olaf loves to explore and is always ready for fun, showing himself to be a brave and social pup. He’s looking for a family to help him grow into a well-mannered adult dog.
Ideal Home
Olaf is likely to do well with children, cats, and other dogs, provided introductions are done appropriately. Because of his small size, it’s important that any resident pets are gentle and experienced with very small dogs, and all interactions should be supervised. Olaf cannot be left alone for long periods due to his young age. Adopters should plan to have someone home more often than not to support his socialization and training. If you work outside the home for more than 4 hours, a second adult in the household must be available to care for him during the day.
Ongoing Health
No specific health concerns are mentioned in Olaf's listing.
Training & Support
Olaf is still mastering potty and crate training. His new family should be prepared to provide consistent training, frequent potty breaks, positive reinforcement, and plenty of patience as he learns. Puppies thrive with structure, routine, and supervision.
