A Chihuahua mix is often a bright, expressive, and deeply people‑oriented little dog with a big personality tucked into a small body. They tend to be alert, loyal, and full of character — sometimes a little sassy, sometimes incredibly cuddly, always entertaining. Many Chihuahua mixes bond closely with their chosen person and love being involved in whatever their family is doing.   Their ideal home is one that offers patience, gentle structure, and emotional safety, since these mixes can be cautious with strangers and prefer to warm up at their own pace. They thrive in environments with respectful, dog‑savvy people, predictable routines, and plenty of companionship. With the right balance of affection and boundaries, a Chihuahua mix becomes a loyal, loving, and endlessly charming companion.   What to Love about Simon: Simon loves curling up beside you at night, hanging out with you during the day, and simply being part of whatever you’re doing. He’s a calm, steady companion who adores people and would be happy to meet kids to see how things go. Simon is wonderful with other dogs and loves playing with the pups in his foster home, and one of his favorite pastimes is running joyful laps around the yard! He hasn’t shown much interest in cats, so he would likely do well with them in his forever home.   Simon is potty trained, not crate trained, and while he gets a little sad when you leave, he settles and does fine on his own. He’s great on a leash and would love to join his future family on walks or even easy hikes. With his gentle nature, love for companionship, and playful spirit, Simon is ready to become a beloved member of a family who will enjoy having a sweet little shadow by their side!   Simon’s Sensational Highlights: Loyal little shadow — happiest glued to your side day and night Calm, gentle companion — easygoing and steady in the home People‑loving sweetheart — adores everyone and open to meeting kids Dog‑friendly playmate — loves playing with other dogs in his foster home Yard‑zoom enthusiast — running laps outside is one of his favorite activities Likely cat‑friendly — shows little interest in cats and would likely do well Potty‑trained pro — reliably goes outside and adjusts well to routine Not crate trained — does fine when left loose in the home Great on leash — enjoys walks and would love hikes with his future family Ready for his forever family — affectionate, adaptable, and eager to be someone’s beloved companion   Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.
