About Dove

Dove is a three-month-old puppy with a soft brown and cream coat who’ll brighten up any space. She’s a curious, playful Chihuahua mix, always up for a romp or a new experience, but her favorite thing is a warm lap and gentle arms to curl into. Dove is outgoing and affectionate—she gets along well with other dogs and children, so you’ll see her social side once she’s comfortable. She’ll likely need a moment to get her bearings, but it doesn’t take long before you meet her spirited, lovable self. Since she’s still a puppy, basic training and housebreaking are ongoing, but she’s eager to learn and be close to her people. If you want a companion who’s equal parts fun and snuggles, Dove might be the right fit. Dove is fostered in Texas and can be transported to you out of state once adopted.
