About Ghost

Ghost is a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix who might look a bit scary at first, but he's all about affection. Weighing in at 17 lbs, he’s a sweet, shy, and playful lapdog looking for a calm home that understands his need for patience. Previously living with four cats and a large dog, he’s shown he can get along—though he has been known to be territorial, especially over food and toys. He’s also interacted well with children, being playful and engaging. Ghost enjoys bones, vegan strips, and even the mystery of tuna brownies—though you'd have to ask him about those! He loves pets, tug-o-war, cuddling, and even has a knack for chasing squirrels. Ghost has attended obedience classes and mastered commands like sit, down, and stay. He’s working on his house training and demonstrates a few ‘revenge’ accidents, but he's generally good about letting you know when he needs to go out. Neutering should help him become even more well-mannered. A kennel-trained guy, he occasionally has accidents in his crate but is improving. If you're ready for a loving companion, come meet Ghost today!
