About Bijou

Bijou is a 7-year-old Chihuahua/Pug mix with a striking brindle coat and a solid 19-pound frame. She's a blend of independence, affection, and just a touch of sass. Previously loved, her owner moved into assisted living, leaving Bijou in search of a new loyal companion. She enjoys simple pleasures like walks, cozying up on the couch, and keeping an eye on the world from the window. Bijou thrives in a home where someone is around most of the time; she prefers companionship over constant activity. She's housetrained, crate trained, and knows commands like sit, off, out, and come. After attending puppy school, she's well-prepared for her next chapter. Bijou does well with children and has lived with dogs, though she may prefer to be the only pet. She can be protective of her home and might bark at strangers, but she's gentle and playful with those she knows. Given her past experiences, loud noises can unsettle her, so a calm environment would be ideal. A fenced yard and regular walks would make her feel right at home. She's ready to bond and is hoping for a cozy spot in your heart. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
