Herman

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Herman – Your One-and-Only, Loyal Little Sidekick! Chihuahua/Terrier Mix | ~5 Years Old | 9-10 lbs | Neutered Male Herman is a fun-loving, toy-fetching, kid-friendly little guy looking for a calm, committed home where he can be the one and only furry love of your life. This spunky 9–10 lb Chihuahua/Terrier mix has been cherished since 2022 by a loving family, but due to their current dogs not meshing with Herman’s bold, no-nonsense attitude toward other pups, it’s time to find him a home where he can truly shine—solo. Herman adores children and has been nothing but gentle and affectionate with kids ages 5 to 13. He’ll gladly play fetch until your arm gives out and might even give your baby a kiss on the nose. But when it comes to other dogs? Herman is fiercely protective and must be the only pet in the household. He has shown aggression toward all dogs, regardless of size or temperament, and will need a pet-free environment. He is not yet housebroken, but he will go potty outside when taken out regularly on leash. Due to his elderly owner’s limitations, he’s mostly used belly bands, but he’s smart and with consistency, we truly believe he can learn. He’s also not crate-trained right now, but was previously, and did well—so the potential is definitely there! Herman’s Ideal Home:   No other pets A patient, experienced dog owner Someone willing to work on his house training and leash manners A safe, secure home environment (he has tried to dart out doors in the past) Someone who loves throwing toys—and receiving kisses in return   Herman’s Highlights:   Very affectionate with humans Loves kids Loves toys and playing fetch Not destructive in the home Eats Pure Balance Salmon & Pea food Current on all vaccines, flea and heartworm prevention Will come with his vet info and his crate (if needed) Herman is full of love, full of energy, and full of personality. His family is heartbroken to let him go, but they want him to have the undivided love and attention he deserves.
