About Radar

Radar is a charming 2-year-old male Chihuahua Shih Tzu mix weighing 10 pounds. He came to ARF along with his brother, Pugsley, but they don't necessarily need to be adopted together. Radar loves connecting with new people and can be a little bossy around his sibling. This little guy is making great strides in his training, having mastered housebreaking and learning to walk on a leash. He's crate-trained and is eager to settle into a loving home. Radar is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Keep in mind that his new family will need to complete a basic obedience course of their choice. If you're interested in bringing Radar into your family, please fill out an online application. His transition to your home can be the start of a wonderful journey together.
