My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Alex and Riley are Chihuahua/Boston Terrier mixes. Their coloring is orange and white. Alex, a spayed female, is two years old. Riley, a neutered male, is five years old. They are very bonded and must be adopted together.

Tiny but mighty at a whopping six pounds, Alex’s spicy yet sweet disposition is sure to win you over in a heartbeat! On the shy side, Alex relies on her companion Riley for confidence in new situations & meeting new people.

Alex will quickly steal your heart and make you laugh with her antics. Riley helps Alex navigate the world, but he will also be by your side whether that’s out on a hike or cuddling on the couch. He loves to cuddle and always seems to know what kind of day you’ve had.

They are both excellent with other dogs with proper introduction, good with dog-savvy cats, dog-savvy older kids, and even dog-savvy companion birds (their foster mom has a macaw).

They both enjoy moderate exercise and currently go for 3 – 4 walks per day. Fiesta Island Dog Park is a favorite, too. They both know the commands sit, wait, here, leave it, get dressed (Riley wears male wraps, and Alex wears potty pants). Even though Alex is tiny, she pulls on the leash when she is on walks, so her foster mom is currently working to correct that.

To meet this adorable duo, contact their foster mom, Cindy: 619.767.8373 or email resqsandiego@gmail.com.
