Sebastian, a 9-week-old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix, is a little bundle of snuggles ready to melt your heart. Weighing in at about 3 pounds, this little guy was found abandoned with his siblings in Houston. Despite his rough start, Sebastian has a gentle and loving soul, preferring quiet cuddles over boisterous play. He's already showing himself to be a brave and social pup, making him a potential great companion for a family. Sebastian is eager to learn and grow into a confident dog with the right guidance.
Ideal Home
Sebastian would thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of attention and care. As he is a very young puppy, he cannot be left alone for long periods. A home where someone is present most of the time is ideal to help with his socialization and training. If you work outside the home for more than 4 hours at a time, we will consider your application only if another adult is available to care for him during the day. Please be sure to detail your puppy care plan in your application. Any other pets in the home should be gentle and experienced with very small dogs, and all interactions should be supervised.
Ongoing Health
Sebastian is a healthy puppy. As his parentage is unknown, his adult size and breed mix are a mystery, so be prepared for puppy surprises!
Training & Support
Sebastian is still working on potty and crate training, which is typical for a puppy his age. Consistent training, frequent potty breaks, positive reinforcement, and patience will be key to his success. Structure, routine, and supervision are important for puppies, and Sebastian will flourish with these.
