About Hondo

Hondo is a delightful 9-week-old puppy weighing 4 lbs. He came to us alongside his mom from a hoarding situation, where we believe all dogs were chihuahuas or chihuahua mixes. Hondo seems to have a dash of Boston Terrier in his mix. With his affectionate nature, he’s the kind of pup who will follow you everywhere for a bit of love. He’s playful and quite the jokester, sure to brighten up any home. While Hondo isn’t house trained yet, he's making great strides with pee pads. This little lap warmer will need regular feeding, three times a day, to help maintain his blood sugar until he grows a bit. He’s had his first two puppy vaccines and will need to complete his vaccinations soon. Hondo gets along well with dogs and children, making him a perfect addition to a family.
