Pine Cone is a 2 year old Chihuahua mix who was surrendered to DPS after a good citizen saved him from the side of the road. This tiny dude has a fabulous cow print body, a zest for adventure, and a permanent little pout that is just precious. Pine Cone is the perfect size for all the adventures life has in store for him, so bring this pawfect pup home today!

Below is a note from Pine Cone’s foster. 

“Pine Cone is a cute little small dude! He has a permanent pouting face, black whisker on one side and white on another, some black nails and some white - but most importantly... an elephant pattern on his butt! He is a curious boy who loves sniffing out all the nooks and crannies our home has to offer. He has been gaining confidence through our resident dog, which is absolutely adorable. 

Pine Cone wakes up around 7 AM and is taken outside for a potty break. After breakfast, he gets a short walk before we start our workday. During the day, he spends his time sleeping, playing with our resident dog, seeking us out for cuddles, and exploring the house. He gets a longer walk after we finish our workdays. Dinner is at 7 PM and then he joins us on the couch for TV and snuggles. He goes out for one more bathroom break before heading to his crate for bed. 

We have not heard Pine Cone make a peep except a cute little grunt when he jumps on the couch. He also seems to be okay with the crate; he just needs a little nudge and will go inside by himself. He stayed in the crate overnight with no issues and ate his meals inside. Pine Cone hasn't had an accident in the house but didn't seem enthusiastic/willing to go when we took him to our backyard or on the walk - the trick is to ignore him and he'll go looking for a spot the moment you leave the scene.”

Pine Cone is an option for just about any kind of home, as long as they are prepared for an adorable pup! Kids in the home should be over the age of 8.
