About Truffle

Truffle and his sister Oreo were surrendered to a shelter, leaving a bit of mystery about their past. Both pups know their mom is a short-haired Chihuahua and their dad a miniature Australian Shepherd, making for an adorable mix. Truffle, with his tricolor coat, embodies joy. This playful little guy loves to bounce around like a bunny and snuggle up—especially considering he’s only 5 pounds of pure love. At 10 weeks old, Truffle has already received two puppy vaccinations, is neutered, microchipped, and treated for fleas and ticks. While he’s currently getting accustomed to potty training, he’s picking it up well, especially with a dog door. After healing from his last puppy vaccine, he'll be ready for his forever home. He loves everyone and gets along great with dogs, cats, and children. If you feel your place can welcome this charm, consider filling out an application! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
