About Iggy #scruffy-terrier

Have a penchant for cuddly dogs who look like a scruffy terrier? Then you'll just love me! Arf! Arf, everyone! I'm Iggy, a friendly, active, people-loving, 10-pound apricot and white wire-coated Portuguese Podengo Pequeno/ long-haired Chihuahua mix fella who was born about September 2020. I have the delightful reputation of being 'the best snuggler.' I get along great with hoomans of all ages -- adults as well as kids -- and other dogs. 'Pequenos' are the smallest of the three sizes of Portuguese Podengos. We're lively, playful, alert, highly intelligent, and independent hounds who make excellent family companions. We're tolerant, compliant, and eager to please our family. Loyal, easy-going, and loving, we make strong bonds with our family but can sometimes be suspicious of strangers. We learn new things very fast but at the same time cannot always be easy to train. I hope there's someone in your family who wants to be my playmate! We're funny dogs who love to play - especially a good game of chase - but can also easily entertain ourselves with toys. We're always ready for action and excel in dog sports like agility and fly-ball. We need plenty of daily exercise to keep us both physically and mentally stimulated. If our exercise needs are not met and we're bored, we can be destructive. We pequenos were bred to search for rabbits in holes and rocks, so watch out for other small household pets because the urge to chase little, furry critters has never left us. I'm homeless because I was found running the mean streets of Houston as a stray, and thank heavens a Good Samaritan rescued me and turned to Miss Donna to find me a fantastic home. I hope that my adorable 'bat ears,' one of which pricks up and one pricks down, and 'scruffy terrier' appearance have caught your attention. Arrange to meet me today. My heart has so much love to give -- all I need is YOU! Iggy is updated on shots, neutered, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $250 for dogs older than 9 months. An application must be filled out prior to adoption.
