Meet Sebastian! This 9-week-old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix, weighing in at 3 pounds, is a tiny bundle of snuggles and affection. Found abandoned with his littermates, Sebastian is now safe and sound in a foster home in Austin, Texas, and is ready to find his forever family. Despite his small size, Sebastian has a big heart and a quiet, gentle demeanor. He prefers cozy cuddles to chaos and has quickly become the ultimate snuggler. He's a loving and happy pup who will undoubtedly make a soft-hearted best friend.
Ideal Home
Sebastian is looking for a family who can provide him with the love, patience, and consistency he needs to grow into a confident and well-mannered adult. He is social and shows bravery, so we believe he will do well with children, cats, and other dogs, provided they are gentle and experienced with very small dogs, and all interactions are supervised. Adopters should be prepared for the mystery of his breed mix and potential size as his parents are unknown. Because he is so young and needs dedicated care, homes where someone is present most of the time are ideal. If you work outside the home for more than 4 hours at a time, we will consider your application only if there is another adult in the household 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, and as with all young puppies, he is still learning and developing. We will provide any necessary veterinary care as needed.
Training & Support
Sebastian is still working on potty training and crate training. His new family should be prepared to continue consistent training with positive reinforcement and plenty of patience. Puppies thrive with structure, routine, and supervision, and Sebastian will do best with a family who understands this.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- A phone interview will be coordinated if you appear to be a good fit.
- This is followed by a video call with the foster home.
- A virtual home visit and personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process.
Transportation
Sebastian is currently located in Austin, Texas. He is able to be transported once matched with an approved adopter. Transports run every few weeks, and he will be placed on the next available transport.
