At just 3 months old, this Chihuahua mix is a tiny bundle of sunshine with tender, soulful eyes and the most charming elf-like ears you’ve ever seen. Bud lives up to his name—full of fresh energy, curiosity, and just waiting to grow into something truly special. This little guy is equal parts playful and hilarious. He’s got a spirited personality and isn’t shy about being the “instigator” when it comes to playtime with other puppies—if there’s fun to be had, Bud will make sure it happens. When the zoomies wind down, he’s more than happy to flop onto his back for some quality wiggle time and soak up all the belly rubs you’re willing to give. Bud is still very much a baby, so he’ll need a patient home ready to guide him through the basics. He’s not yet potty-trained or crate-trained and is just starting to learn the ropes of leash walking. With consistency, kindness, and a little springtime optimism, he’ll catch on in no time. He’s expected to stay on the smaller side (likely under 30–40 lbs full-grown) and already shows a wonderful social side—doing well with other dogs, cats, and kids alike. If you’re looking for a joyful, mischievous little companion to grow with, laugh with, and love through every season, Bud might just be your perfect match!
