About Silas

Meet Silas, an adorable puppy who is ready to fill your life with joy. At just 12 weeks old, this small breed cutie, a mix with Chihuahua, has heaps of personality packed into his tiny frame. He's expected to weigh around 15-20 pounds when fully grown. Silas came into rescue with his six siblings after their mama was saved from a tough situation. Born safe and healthy in a loving foster home, Silas has spent his days exploring, playing, and cuddling with his littermates. He's a curious little guy who loves to discover every nook and cranny, whether it's wrestling with his siblings or searching for leaves and sticks to adopt as his treasures. This little bundle of energy enjoys the classic puppy activities: playing with toys, enjoying treats, and cuddling up for long naps after a day filled with adventures. He needs a family that can provide him with the time and patience to learn as he grows. Currently, he's in the process of potty training, so expect to give him potty breaks every 3-4 hours during the day. Silas thrives in a home with another playful and friendly dog, and he gets along well with cats and dog-savvy children who respect his puppy energy. With training and plenty of love, Silas is set to grow into a wonderful lifelong companion. His adoption fee is $250 and includes his neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, and preventative care.
