About Stymie

Meet Stymie, a playful young pup at just 10 weeks old. He’s a mix between a Chihuahua and a Heeler, and we’re unsure if he’ll take after his mom’s petite 10 lbs or dad’s robust 50 lbs. With his unique background, Stymie has the potential to grow into a delightful companion. He gets along well with dogs and children, making him a fantastic family addition. We're currently accepting applications and adoption deposits to hold him until he's ready for a home. Meet and greets will be arranged for approved applications next week. Stymie is altered and vaccinated, giving you peace of mind as he embarks on his new adventure. If you're ready to bring joy into your life with this adorable pup, don’t hesitate to reach out!
