About Azriel

Meet Azriel, an 11-month-old male Chihuahua mix, who weighs around 10 pounds. This little guy is bursting with energy and has a playful spirit. He loves to cuddle just as much as he enjoys racing around during playtime, fetching toys with enthusiasm. Azriel’s delightful dark coat and short hair blend into the shadows, but he stands out when he insists on being the center of attention during snuggle sessions. Azriel thrives in a lively environment. He enjoys romping in the yard with other dogs, but his play style can be a bit exuberant—he's a fan of playful wrestling and can be a little much for more subdued dogs. He's friendly with children, so he'll fit in well with a family that has gentle, respectful kids. Though he’s making great strides with his training, Azriel does need an adopter who will continue working with him on leash manners, especially when encountering larger dogs. He’s shown mild-moderate leash reactivity, so patience and consistent training will help him improve further. Azriel is looking for a loving home where he can share his goofy personality and keep everyone entertained with his silly antics. A perfect day for him includes snuggles in soft blankets or warm sunspots, and he is emotionally attuned to those around him. If you’re ready to welcome this endearing pup into your life, he’s ready to give you all the love he has. Click apply to start the adoption process.
