Almendra

Meet Almendra, a sweet and playful three-month-old Chihuahua mix from Santa Fe, NM, whose heart is as big as her love for companionship! This young pup is full of charm, energy, and an eagerness to be by your side, whether on a stroll through the neighborhood or snuggled up at home.

Almendra is a social butterfly who enjoys meeting new people, playing with other dogs, and being part of the action. She has a medium energy level—she’s always ready for a walk but also appreciates quiet moments of affection. She knows how to sit and is still learning the ropes when it comes to training, so she’d thrive with a patient and loving pet parent who can guide her with consistency and positive reinforcement.

When left alone for short periods, Almendra can feel a little sad, making her a great match for someone who spends plenty of time at home or has another friendly pup to keep her company. She’s affectionate, fun-loving, and good with young children, making her a wonderful addition to her next caring family! While her experience with cats is unknown, her friendly nature suggests she could adjust well with proper introductions.

With her soft tan and white coat, expressive eyes, and gentle spirit, Almendra is sure to melt hearts wherever she goes! Could you be the perfect match for this adorable pup?
