About Tater Tot

Tater Tot is a 7-pound Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix, about 3-4 years old, and he’s got the comedic timing to match his name. Lively, playful, and a total goofball, he’ll brighten up a room with a game of fetch or his animated, silly nature. Socializing is second nature to him—he gets along well with other small dogs and absolutely needs to be adopted with his best buddy, Prince, a bonded Yorkie. You’ll find him in the Dallas area, but note that his new family must be ready for a small dog with big personality. Tater Tot’s adopters must have no big dogs, no small children, no swimming pool unless securely fenced, and no doggie doors, all to keep him safe due to his size. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm and fecal negative, and has had a dental. The joy he brings is absolutely worth it. Ready to make a difference for two deserving pups?
