Sahara Sweetie Pie

If happiness had four legs, giant ears, and a toy permanently in its mouth... it would be Sahara.

Meet Sahara, an adorable 6-month-old Chihuahua/Heeler mix (our best guess!) with the biggest ears, the happiest smile, and enough personality to brighten every room she walks into. Her warm caramel-and-white coat, speckled little legs, and constantly wagging tail make her just as cute on the outside as she is on the inside. Sahara is the definition of a fun-loving puppy. If it squeaks, bounces, rolls, or can be tugged on, she's all in! She absolutely loves her toys and could spend hours happily entertaining herself, though she would be even happier if you joined in for a game of fetch or tug. She'll even play with cat toys if given the chance! She's always ready for the next adventure and approaches life with endless enthusiasm. She's also a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being around her people. Sahara is generous with kisses and loves soaking up attention, though she's still learning that not everyone wants an enthusiastic puppy greeting! She can get excited and jump up to say hello, but she's a smart, treat-motivated girl who is already learning her manners and will thrive with continued positive training. Sahara enjoys going on walks and does well on leash, though she can pull a bit when she's excited to explore. Like any young puppy, she's still learning about the world. Around other dogs, she's playful but can be a little rambunctious and is still working on her doggy manners and boundaries. With patient guidance and continued socialization, she's sure to keep growing into a wonderful canine companion. She has not been tested with cats or children just yet, but we'd be happy to help determine if she'd be a good fit for your family.

Ideal Home

Sahara would love an active family ready to embrace all the fun that comes with puppyhood. Whether you are tossing toys in the backyard, heading out on walks, or curling up after a busy day, she'll be right there with her signature happy grin and joyful spirit.
