Story
Introducing Niles, the sweetest, most mellow 13 lbs of Italian Greyhound/Terrier mix (our best guess) you'll ever meet. Sadly, Niles was abandoned along with his littermate on the side of a busy mountain road (Niles Canyon). Fortunately, after 5 hours (in the rain) of chasing, coaxing, & cursing (3 leaves=poison oak) we managed to wrangle him (& her) into our car. We'd happily welcome Niles into our pack, but we have a curmudgeonly senior who's been on a hunger strike since he arrived. Niles is great with men, women, other dogs (big and small) & kids of all ages, and likely won't discriminate against cats. Having spent some time at a board/train home with a certified R+, force-free trainer, Niles gets top marks for his potty and leash performances. He is neutered, microchipped, on pest prevention, and has the majority of his vaccinations complete with the exception of the last series of DA2PP & Leptospirosis (due 4/3). Suggested donation of $150-$250 to Bradshaw Animal Shelter.

Story
Cole is about 10-11 years old. We adopted him from someone in May 2020. We were able to get him some professional training to follow some commands well. He is house trained and can be home for several hours without needing to use the bathroom. Although we do come home for lunch to make sure his bladder isn't full all day. He is fast and moody as he is every bit of both Italian Greyhound and Chihuahua. He is sweet to those who are sweet with him. But by no means is he a highly social dog with people or animals. You may be able to get him comfortable around more adults, but I am unsure of children. He absolutely does not care for: - loud people who move around a lot AKA high energy - anyone "baby-talking" him - too much attention and heavy petting he doesn't initiate He does like: - soft spoken people - walks, though not too long - to learn new tricks and commands He's very smart and protective. Likes to run and get his toys, though we haven't taught him to fetch.
