About Euless

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Euless is a charming young pup from a small-breed rescue, ready to bring energy and affection to your home! Born July 23 (that makes him a lively Leo—Leos are known for their confidence and playful hearts), Euless weighs only 6 lbs at 20 weeks. With a lovely yellow and white short coat, this Wirehaired Terrier/Chihuahua mix is affectionately nicknamed "The Kisser" because of his sweet and loving nature. Euless truly shines around other dogs and thrives on companionship. He is seeking a home in the Dallas Metroplex or surrounding area with another small, playful canine friend for company and proper socialization. Euless is not fully house trained yet and isn't yet fully vaccinated for parvo, so he isn't suitable for apartments. He's best placed in a home without children under 7 and without large dogs. Mini Mutts offers a one-week home trial to make sure the fit is just right. Please remember, Euless cannot be adopted alongside one of his siblings, to help ensure healthy development. If you're looking for a loving, gentle, and playful companion, Euless is sure to capture your heart! Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
