About Handsome

Meet Handsome, a charming 2-year-old Japanese Chin/Terrier mix weighing in at 13 lbs. This friendly pup is neutered and ready for his new home. He’s perfect for a beginner with some dog experience, especially someone eager to share their life with a low-challenge companion. Handsome enjoys a moderate energy level. He needs a daily 60-minute walk along with quick potty strolls. Keeping him engaged with trick training and puzzle toys will help keep his mind active too. Currently, Handsome is still adjusting, so it’s unclear how he’ll handle city living, but with a little time, pretty much all dogs can adapt well. He’s great with other dogs and has the potential to be good with respectful children ages 8 and up, given proper supervision. While it’s not yet known how he does with cats, many dogs of his breed have opportunities to coexist peacefully with them. Handsome is up to date with his vaccinations and is overall healthy. He’s looking for a loving family or individual who can give him plenty of love and attention. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
