Sapphire is a small Chihuahua/Yorkshire Terrier mix, clocking in at just 6 pounds, with a spunky personality fit for someone who enjoys daily walks and time outdoors. She loves being close to her people, is a loyal walking buddy, and truly shines exploring parks or dog-friendly spots. Sapphire is not a fan of being picked up by strangers or handled by children—she’ll make it quite clear if she’s uncomfortable, which is why she needs a patient adult home. She prefers introductions from the ground on her own terms. Indoors, Sapphire has low energy, but once she’s outside, she perks right up and is eager to enjoy her leash walks. She lives with other dogs but tends to prefer being left alone. If other dogs crowd her, she might bark or squawk but generally coexists fine if ignored. She’s crate trained, rides well in the car, and knows basic commands like "come" and "wait." Her grooming needs are simple—a weekly brushing will keep her coat in good shape, though her hair grows a bit unevenly and may need the occasional touch-up if you like things neat. The ideal match for Sapphire is an experienced, dog-savvy adult in or near Raleigh, NC—an apartment or home with a fenced yard is great. Sapphire’s sun sign is Scorpio, which might explain her fierce loyalty and no-nonsense attitude about personal boundaries. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
