Weighing in at just 17 pounds, Benito is the perfect example of great things coming in small packages! Benito is a 1-year-old chihuahua mix. Do not let his small size fool you—this pup is full of personality!

Benito has a medium energy level. He loves to play outside and go on adventures and would love a family that likes to explore as much as he does. That being said, he also loves to be pet and would be happy to curl up in your lap for a nap after his journey comes to a close!

Benito is good with other dogs and children. He would be a wonderful addition to a family with one or both already in residence. Benito has not met cats yet.

Benito is working on his house, crate and leash training. He is making great strides with his leash training and should be strutting his stuff confidently in no time. With the patience and consistency of his new family, Benito is sure to also master his house and crate skills.
