Robin Hood is an approximately 14-week-old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix, currently weighing 4 pounds and expected to grow. He was found abandoned with eight other puppies in Houston and is now in a foster home in Austin, Texas. Robin Hood is a confident, playful, and spirited pup who enjoys wrestling and tumbling with his siblings. However, once playtime is over, he transforms into a total snuggle bug, eager for affection. He's a charming blend of spunky and sweet, promising a lifetime of joy and adorable mischief.
Ideal Home
Robin Hood is a brave and social puppy who we believe will do well with children, cats, and other dogs, provided introductions are gentle and supervised. Because of his small size, any resident pets should be experienced and gentle with very small dogs. His new family should be home more often than not to provide him with the necessary socialization, training, and care. Homes where an adult is not present for more than four hours at a time will not be considered, unless there is another adult in the household who can care for him during the day.
Ongoing Health
We do not know Robin Hood's parentage, so his adult size and exact breed mix are unknown. Adopters should be prepared for surprises!
Training & Support
Robin Hood is still learning about the world and will need a family committed to his continued development into a confident, well-mannered adult. As with all puppies his age, he is still working on potty and crate training. Consistent training, frequent potty breaks, positive reinforcement, and patience are essential. Puppies thrive with structure, routine, and supervision, and Robin Hood is no exception.
