About Chex

Meet Chex! This playful and affectionate 6-month-old cattle dog/chihuahua mix is a happy little boy weighing in at 24 pounds. Chex adores everyone he meets—people, dogs of all sizes, and even cats. He’s currently in a foster home with three dogs and two cats, and the fun never stops. Chex has a curious nature and plays energetically with his buddies, often requiring a good tussle with toys before he settles down for a nap in his favorite spot. He’s fully house trained, vaccinated, and neutered, making him a great addition to a family. Chex loves to explore the outdoors, happily trotting in and out of a fenced yard to play and roll in the grass. He’s learning to walk nicely on a leash, and while he may initially be shy around strangers, he quickly warms up to reveal his cuddly, snuggly side. This little gem is currently being fostered in Warren, RI, but he is available for adoption throughout the Northeastern States. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
