Topaz is a male puppy, nearly 8 weeks old, with a long coat. He’s a mixed breed of Chihuahua and Cocker Spaniel, expected to be small when fully grown. His colors are white/cream and black. Currently, Topaz is not yet house trained but is vaccinated. He is looking for a loving home in Martinez, CA, where he can thrive and play.

About Topaz

Topaz is an adorable, fluffy little boy bursting with personality. Curious and bold, he’s the most outgoing of his litter, eager to explore everything around him. His foster mom likens his cuteness to Snoopy, from his sweet face to his confident demeanor. Currently nestled in Austin, Texas, Topaz will be available for adoption out of state once he's at least 10 weeks old, set for October 7, 2026. This little pup came from a challenging situation involving multiple small dogs. His mom is a Chihuahua/Cocker Spaniel mix, while dad is believed to be a Dachshund mix, so it’s anyone’s guess how he'll look as he grows. Right now, he revels in the joys of puppyhood — wrestling with his siblings, nibbling on everything he can find, then crashing after all that play. Topaz is still mastering the basics of being a puppy; he isn't potty trained yet and will need guidance as he settles into a new routine. A family that has someone home more often will suit him best, helping him establish good habits and continue socializing. If there's another friendly dog in the home, that would help him learn the ropes too. Adopting a puppy requires commitment, patience, and responsibility. The early months may be demanding, but they’re incredibly rewarding as you witness Topaz grow and learn. Are you ready for such a joyful journey? Click apply to start the adoption process.
