Artie

Meet Artie – a sweet, playful, and pint-sized bundle of joy! Artie is an adorable 1.5-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix who weighs in at just 10 pounds but has a personality that’s ten times his size. Full of affection and charm, Artie is friendly, smart, and loves to make his people laugh with his playful, curious nature. Originally from La Paz, Mexico, Artie is now thriving in his Portland foster home. He’s kennel trained, house-trained, and has a great start with leash walking. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, enjoys the company of cats (though he can be a bit playful with them!), and is great with children. Artie loves being around people and settles in quickly to new environments. This little guy is equal parts cuddly and energetic – the perfect mix of couch companion and zoomie enthusiast. He’d thrive in a home that can match his playful spirit, whether it’s with active humans or other pets who love to run, chase, and play. If you’re looking for a loyal, funny, and affectionate companion who’s always up for fun and snuggles, Artie is your guy!
