About Azriel

Meet Azriel, an 11-month-old male Chihuahua mix, weighing around 10 pounds. This lively pup balances his energetic side with a love for cozy snuggles. His shiny black coat blends perfectly with shadows, but his personality shines when he leaps into action. Azriel loves playtime, especially fetching toys and zooming around the yard, making hilarious high-speed turns. He enjoys the company of other dogs, engaging in playful romps that often lead to delightful mega-zoomies! His adorable ears add to his charm: one pops while the other flops, creating a truly signature look. Azriel is also well-behaved overnight, happily curling up in his crate and sleeping soundly. Although Azriel is affectionate and emotionally attuned, he will need guidance with some behaviors. His play style can be slightly intense, so he would benefit from a playmate who enjoys similar roughhousing. Additionally, he's shown some leash reactivity, particularly around larger dogs, which will need ongoing training. Azriel isn’t house trained yet and should be supervised to prevent puppy mischief. However, he brings joy and laughter to any home he joins. He does well with gentle children, but his reaction to cats remains unknown. He’s ready to share his love and wants to be the center of your universe! For those interested in giving him a forever home, there are adoption events every weekend where Azriel can be met.
