Mookie

This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Say hello to Mookie, a 1-year-old Rat Terrier / Chihuahua mix with a heart as big as his curiosity! Weighing in at just under 12 pounds, this little guy has only been in his foster home a short time but is already starting to warm up. Timid yet endearing, Mookie has a soft spot for treats and loves following his human around, showing off his playful side in the yard. Mookie's favorite pastime? Running like the wind and chasing after the other foster dogs. It's a joy to watch him zoom around! Though still nervous, he's making strides in trusting humans, taking treats, and quietly sleeping in his crate all night. This sweet boy is housetrained and does well on leash walks, though a quieter, rural neighborhood would suit him best. Mookie loves exploring and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard. While he's more comfortable around women, he's fine with other calm, friendly dogs. Mookie's ideal home is one filled with patience and love, where he can slowly build trust and feel safe. Mookie might not be a lap dog yet, but he's eager to be someone's loyal companion. Ready to give this shy sweetheart the loving home he deserves? Adopt Mookie today and let him steal your heart!
