About Bacon

Bacon is a 14-month-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix eager for a loving home.

This little guy loves to curl up in your lap and has been known to try to perch on shoulders like a playful parrot. His affectionate kisses and hugs are sure to warm your heart. Bacon thrives in companionship and would do best in a home where someone is around frequently or where he can join in on adventures. He gets along well with small dogs, like little Yorkies, and we’re still fine-tuning his leash skills. He's looking for someone patient who can help him come out of his shell.
