Sebastian, a charming 9-week-old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix, is ready to steal your heart! Weighing in at a petite 3 pounds, Sebastian is a master snuggler who prefers quiet cuddles to boisterous play. He was found abandoned with his littermates and is now looking for a loving forever home. Despite his small stature, Sebastian has a brave and social spirit, and we believe he'll do wonderfully with children, cats, and other dogs. However, due to his delicate size, any resident pets should be gentle and experienced with very small dogs, and all interactions should be supervised.
Ideal Home
Sebastian would thrive in a home where someone is present most of the time to help him with socialization and training. He needs a family that understands that puppies, especially small ones, require patience, consistency, and frequent potty breaks. If you work outside the home for more than 4 hours at a time, we will only consider your application if there is another adult available to care for him during the day. Please be sure to detail your puppy care plan in your application.
Ongoing Health
Sebastian is a healthy puppy, but as with all young dogs, he is still learning and growing. His exact breed mix and adult size are unknown, so adopters should be prepared for some puppy surprises!
Training & Support
Sebastian is currently working on potty training and crate training. His new family should be committed to continuing consistent positive reinforcement training, providing frequent potty breaks, and offering plenty of patience as he learns. He thrives with structure and routine.
