About Blueprint

Blueprint is a small, playful older puppy with a blend of Chihuahua and Terrier in his background. He’s right at a year old and weighs about 15 pounds. Social and easygoing, Blueprint genuinely enjoys people—he’s happy to entertain himself, chase toys, or join in play with anyone around. He does well with other dogs, which makes him a flexible fit for homes with existing furry companions. Since Blueprint has grown up in a shelter environment, he’s crate trained and does well with his potty habits there, but more practice on full house training will be needed when he moves in. Like any young dog, he’ll need patience and consistency as he adapts to a home routine—accidents are possible at first. He’s neutered and has all his vaccinations up to date, and he’s been seen by a veterinarian. Although every effort is made to capture each dog’s personality in the shelter, Blueprint’s confidence and playful spirit will likely shine even more in a home. He’s looking for a safe place to land in Richmond, TX and a family ready to help him settle in. This could be the start of something paw-some.
