Mint is a 9-lb, 12-year-old Chihuahua who prefers the quiet side of life. He tends to be shy in new environments but relaxes instantly when he’s held. If you’re looking for a lap dog who loves to be petted, Mint fits the bill—and he keeps to himself around other dogs, though he gets along just fine. Larger dogs aren’t his favorite, so a home without them will help him feel secure. He enjoys walks but doesn’t depend on them, and he’s an easy, calm passenger in the car. Mint is fully vaccinated, neutered, and recently had a dental, so his health is up to date. He isn’t house trained yet, but with patience, he can learn. Apartment living would suit him perfectly, or any home with a gentle pace. He arrived alongside his pal Peppa; while they aren’t bonded, adopting or fostering them together could work well if you have room for two. Mint is looking for a foster or adoptive home and is open to a foster-to-adopt situation. Ready to meet him? Start your journey together! Apply now.
