Sebastian #2 | 5-year-old Long-Haired Chihuahua mix | Your little cuddle bug
Sebastian is a 5-year-old, 11-pound Long-Haired Chihuahua mix who is a sweet, friendly little guy with a serious talent for cuddling. He is calm, affectionate, and happiest when he is snuggled up with his people. He loves having his belly rubbed, resting his head on you, and burrowing under the covers. He even has an adorable little dance that he likes to show off.
Sebastian is house trained and has had very few accidents in his foster home, though it is important to remember that as with any dog adjusting to a new environment, accidents can happen while he settles into his new routine. He enjoys short neighborhood walks, car rides, and being brushed, although he isn't particularly interested in toys. He is very food motivated and also loves attention and affection. He knows "sit" and responds well to structure and boundaries.
Sebastian has never met a dog he doesn't like and has done wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. He has also been friendly with cats and didn't seem particularly interested in the one cat he has met. He has done well with both younger and older children and loves men and women equally. He has an average amount of shedding for a fluffy little dog.
The one area Sebastian is still working on is being left alone. He becomes anxious when his people leave and will bark, so he would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. He is comfortable in his kennel and doesn't try to escape, but he begins barking and whining almost immediately and has not yet learned to settle there. His ideal home would be one where he can spend lots of time with his people and enjoy being the devoted little companion he clearly wants to be.
Sebastian really is a wonderful little dog, and so far his only known challenge is his difficulty being left alone. With plenty of companionship and a family who can continue helping him build confidence, this sweet boy should make an absolutely lovely companion.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $400. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
