About Javi

Meet Javi, a charming 4-year-old Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher mix. Weighing in at just 10 pounds, he brings a giant personality to the small package. This affectionate little guy is ready to be devoted to his forever human, following you around and making sure you're never alone—even in the bathroom. Javi thrives on attention and would do best in a home where someone is around often. He’s a car ride enthusiast and even had his own car seat previously. Paddle boarding and short, snowy adventures also bring him joy. When it comes to walks, he’s a gentleman on a leash, always eager to accompany you on outings. At night, Javi snuggles into his kennel, which he considers his cozy retreat. He sleeps soundly through the night without needing bathroom breaks. While he’s working on housetraining, some marking has occurred due to living with other dogs, so he would enjoy being the only pup in the household to soak up all your attention. Though he’s had limited interactions with children, he’s shown that he can warm up after some initial shyness. Javi does bark when someone approaches the house, taking his role as a tiny watchdog seriously. Food guarding is not an issue, but he does love to hide his favorite toys in his kennel for later. The ideal adopter for Javi is someone who wants a loyal companion to share daily life. If you're ready to welcome a loving little buddy who adores being by your side, Javi may be the perfect fit for you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
