We typically respond within 24 hours if you do not hear from us after completing the application please send us an email adopt@almosthmenm.org Approximate DOB 1/17/2026 – About 10 lbs right now. We expect them to be between 20 and 30 lbs as adults. They were strays with no parents present we are just using our best guess at breeds based off their personalities, size, and looks. We were told they could possibly be Chihuahua mixes but really the shelter was also just guessing based off them being only a pound when they got them and their looks. They may be a mix of JRT, maybe Chihuahua, and with those long legs and fancy build possibly Italian greyhound or Whippet. History: These babies were turned into a local shelter at about 5-6 weeks old and only weighing in at a pound. They were severely dehydrated and too young to be away from their momma and needed a little extra support so we received a rescue transfer request. We agreed and now they are old enough to go into their forever homes. We have 4 boys in this group - Aspen, Canyon, Forest, and River. Current Behavior: Very smart and outgoing. These are pretty high energy babies who love to play and wrestle. They love toys, snacks, and lots of love, and attention. They love all the other dogs they have met, loved the cats, and are just awesome babies who would love their own families to play with and then cuddle up with to watch some tv. If you are wanting a smaller dog that can keep up for hiking and such these are the puppies for you. Small enough to carry in a backpack but big enough to handle keeping up. Housetraining- Currently using a dog door. Their ideal home is active with lots of attention and outdoor activities. They will do best with older children who can keep them busy and a family who can keep up with them. Hikes, walks, runs, tug, fetch, maybe agility - they would love it all. These are amazing babies who are absolutely beautiful and so well behaved for being so young. They are stable, loving, active, and smart. Grab them quick as they will be snatched up in no time.  Neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations Adoption Fee $250 We do welcome out-of-state adoptions.
