About Galleta

Galleta is a one-year-old Yorkshire Terrier and Chihuahua mix who weighs in at just 7 pounds. Ideally, she needs a quiet, adult-only home where she can be the only pet. Galleta can be shy and has shown some resource guarding when her favorite person is around, so a peaceful, single-person setting would best suit her needs. Previously, she lived with other pets but has shown that she thrives without competition for attention. This little bundle of joy is full of curiosity and personality. Galleta loves belly rubs, cuddles, and playing with toys. She’s made a remarkable transformation from her early days tangled in bushes in Mexico to a wonderfully affectionate companion. You can see her playful side when she zooms around the house or splashes in water. Galleta is house trained, but she’s still learning, requiring a consistent routine. Since moving to Portland, Galleta enjoys exploring the backyard and watching squirrels. She sleeps through the night in her own bed or next to you, making her an ideal cuddle buddy. If you’re looking for a loving companion and have the patience to help Galleta build her confidence, she could be the perfect match for you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
