Meet Pepe Le Pew, a 9-week-old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix with an estimated birthday in March 2026. This little masked bandit currently weighs 3 pounds and is sure to charm his way into your heart with his sweet personality and love for snuggles. Pepe and his siblings were found abandoned, but he's now safe in a foster home in Austin, Texas, ready to find his forever family. He's a lover, not a fighter, who enjoys naps, puppy kisses, and cozy cuddles. Pepe is a social and brave pup who we believe will do well with children, cats, and other dogs, provided introductions are done appropriately. Given his small size, it's important that any resident pets are gentle and experienced with very small dogs, and all interactions should be supervised. Since Pepe's parents are unknown, his adult size is a mystery, but his adoptive family should be prepared for lots of puppy surprises!
Ideal Home
Pepe is looking for a family ready for the joy, chaos, laughter, and love that comes with raising a tiny puppy. He needs a home where someone is present most of the time to help with his socialization, training, and care, as he cannot be left alone for long periods. If you work outside the home for more than 4 hours, we will consider your application only if another adult in the household can provide care during the day.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Pepe is still learning potty and crate training. His new family should be prepared to continue consistent training with frequent potty breaks, positive reinforcement, and plenty of patience. Puppies thrive with structure, routine, and supervision.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- If you are a potential match, you will be contacted to schedule a phone interview.
- A video call with the foster home is required.
- Virtual home visits and personal/vet reference checks are part of the process.
Transporation
Pepe is currently located in Austin, Texas. He is able to be transported once he is matched with an adopter. Transports occur every few weeks.
