Porgie is a Chihuahua/mixed breed puppy with a small build and a black coat. As a male baby just a couple months old, he is already beginning potty and crate training.

About Porgie

Porgie is a petite pup, weighing just 2-3 pounds, and is already getting the hang of potty and crate training. He’s as cute as they come, but his small size brings special needs—his future home should be well-versed in caring for delicate toy-breed puppies. Adoptive families must own their home, have a secure, physically fenced yard, and no children under 8. Commitment to ongoing training and socialization is key. Porgie—and his siblings—will only be placed in homes prepared for the realities of puppyhood, not just the cuteness. Expect plenty of interest; every application will be thoughtfully reviewed to make the right match. If you'd like to meet Porgie, keep your calendar open for Yappy Hour with Tito’s on June 4th from 4–6 PM. These tiny pups won’t be available for long. Click apply to start the adoption process.
