Jeppson

My story

Jeppson is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster! Jeppson is: Neutered: Yes! Up to date on vaccines: Yes! Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized - Currently taking medication for anxiety support More about Jeppson: Housebroken: Yes! Crate trained: He has done best with free roam when home alone for up to 5 hours, once he has adjusted to his environment, and prefers this to being crated when home alone. He has done fine in his crate for shorter periods, more so when his person is home. Leash walking: He is reactive to strangers on walks, and will bark and pull. He would do best in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood. Dog social: Yes! He lives successfully with other dogs, and also loves attending dog daycare. He will need another dog (or dogs!) in his future home, as this helps him to be his best self. Cat social: He lives with a cat in his foster home and has done very well after a slow, proper intro period. Kid friendly: Not a match, as he is nervous with new people Jeppson likes: - Tossing around his plush toys - Using his brain to solve food-hiding puzzle toys - Having dog (and cat!) pals to keep him company Jeppson is a loving and loyal chihuahua mix who prefers you and only you all to himself. He enjoys sleeping under the covers, finding the comfiest spots, and sunbathing, though he gets bursts of energy and zooms around the house and yard with his long legs. He is food motivated and eager to please which helps with his training! He can be uncomfortable with new people, particularly male-presenting humans, and would benefit from a patient adopter who can give him plenty of time, space, and treats to warm up and decompress. He would do best in a calm female-only home without frequent visitors. He would also prefer a quiet neighborhood (or home with a yard) as he is similarly nervous and reactive toward strangers on walks. Jeppson's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter and he is ready to spice up your life!
