Adorable pug-chihuahua mix FELIPE is a total playboy -- as in he likes to play and play. He's so happy to have fur siblings to play with in his foster home. It's a whole new experience for him after leading a dull existence as an only dog in a quiet home. Felipe is an energetic player and is best suited to a furever home with playful dogs a bit larger than his little 15 lb. self due to his play style. Think beagle-sized. He may be 4-5 years old, but he channels his inner puppy on a daily basis. Felipe is not suited to a couch potato lifestyle. He loves toys of all kind, chewy, squeaky, all good! Felipe is a quiet guy (not barky) and would be okay in an apartment or condo, but he MUST have at least one other playful dog who can handle his active play style. Felipe is also a kissing bandit
and loves attention. He's more than happy to dress up in outfits, wear sweaters, whatever, especially if there are treats involved. Felipe is good with people of all ages, but given his small size we won't send him to a home with small children. He'd be fine with older, dog-savvy kids. Felipe is housebroken and crate trained and walks well on a leash.

PLEASE NOTE: after applying for a dog PLEASE keep an eye on your email spam/junk folder to make sure you don't miss any messages from us. Also please consider answering calls from unfamiliar 513 area code numbers. You can't adopt one of our dogs if we can't reach you. All of our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial foster-to-adopt period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care.
