Adopt a Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat)

Max is a loving male Chihuahua/mix, born 5/4/10 and weighs 17.99lbs. We adopted him out to a lovely lady in 2010 and he had a wonderful life but then she became very ill and couldn’t take him with her. Max was confused for a while, but with lots of love and extra attention he has adapted to his foster home. Max loves to play tug-a-war with his toy and he always wants to win. Max loves sleeping with you and will cuddle under the covers when he gets cold. He his house trained on potty pads but prefers to go outside to do his business. He gets along very well with the other dogs and the house cats. Max just wants to be around you and love on you; he will chew on your hand a little to get your attention, but never hurts you. You tell him to go get his toy and he will. He enjoys chewing on his cow hooves when he is just lying around. Max would enjoy someone that will have time with him and not be left at home all day alone. He would be great with a retired couple or a stay at home parent or another dog to keep him company and NO SMALL CHILDREN, will that be you?

If you are considering adopting a dog through HALO Here are some helpful hints:

Please bring pictures of your yard showing your fencing and yard and bring any other dogs that you have to be introduced to make sure that they get along. Most of our dogs require a 6 foot fenced yard. Yards must be cleared of any fox tail weeds. The adoption donation is cash or check.

We only adopt our dogs out to Contra Costa County residence only so that we may follow up on their well-being to make sure that they are happy and thriving.

We do adopt small dogs to apartments or condo and need to see pictures of the patio or balcony area. If you rent, please bring copy of your lease to show you can have pets and any size restrictions.

We do not adopt to homes with children under the age of five unless we know the history of the dog with young children. All Children MUST be present at adoption.
