Meet Sebastian! This adorable 9-week-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix, weighing in at a petite 3 pounds, is ready to steal your heart. He was found abandoned with his siblings in Houston and is now being showered with love in his foster home in Austin, Texas. Sebastian might be small, but his sweet and gentle nature is making a big impression! He's a champion snuggler who prefers quiet cuddles to boisterous play, making him the perfect companion for anyone seeking a soft-hearted best friend.
Ideal Home
Sebastian is a brave and social little pup who we believe will do well with children, cats, and other dogs, provided introductions are done appropriately. However, due to his tiny size, any existing pets in the home should be gentle and experienced with very small dogs, and all interactions should be supervised. Sebastian thrives in a home where he won't be left alone for long periods; we're looking for a family where someone is home most of the time to help with his socialization, training, and overall care. If you work outside the home for more than 4 hours at a time, we'd need to see another adult in the household available to care for him during the day, with a detailed puppy care plan submitted with your application.
Ongoing Health
As Sebastian's parentage is unknown, his adult size and breed mix are a delightful mystery! Adopters should be prepared for surprises as he grows. Like all puppies his age, he is still mastering potty and crate training.
Training & Support
Sebastian is working on his potty and crate training and will need a family committed to consistent training, frequent potty breaks, positive reinforcement, and plenty of patience. Puppies thrive with structure, routine, and supervision, and Sebastian is no exception. He promises a lifetime of kisses, cuddles, and adorable mischief in return for a loving home ready for the joy and love of raising a tiny puppy.
