About Harley

Meet Harley, a 3-month-old Chihuahua mix with a gentle, cuddly side and plenty of puppy curiosity. He’s at that playful age where exploring the world feels brand new, and he never turns down a session with his chew toys. Still getting used to all the sights and sounds, Harley will need someone to keep a close eye on him when he's outdoors. Harley’s ideal home includes another small dog for lots of play and wrestling—he’s a social pup who thrives with a companion. He’s a quick study when it comes to routines, but he’ll benefit from ongoing leash and harness training as he grows. Because of his tiny size, he would do best in a home where children are 10 or older. For sleeping, Harley is soft crate trained and nearly completely housebroken. Give this friendly little guy the family he’s waiting for. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
