NAME: Crayola BREED: Chihuahua/terrier mix SEX: male COLOR: cream AGE: 2 1/2 yrs as of Jan 2026 WEIGHT: 15 lbs Get to know Crayola: Meet Crayola! Crayola is a 2 1/2-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix weighing 15 pounds, and if there's one thing he wants the world to know, its this: Broken crayons still color. Crayola's journey hasn't been an easy one. He was found as a stray, and its believed he may have been hit by a car at some point in his past. Unfortunately, whatever injury he suffered never received proper treatment, leaving him with some weakness and coordination issues in his back legs. But if you're expecting Crayola to feel sorry for himself, think again. This little guy wakes up every day ready to live life to the fullest. He may move a little differently than other dogs, but he doesn't let that slow him down one bit. Crayola is brave, determined, and always ready for whatever adventure comes next. More than anything, Crayola loves people. Friends, strangers, visitors, volunteers... if you're human, there's a good chance Crayola wants to meet you. He has a sweet personality, a heart full of love, and a tail that seems to have forgotten there's any reason not to wag. A fenced yard with soft grass would be a dream come true for him. He enjoys exploring, sniffing around, and soaking up all the good things life has to offer. Crayola's one challenge is that he can be very reactive toward other dogs. While he's making progress, he currently needs careful management around canine companions and is not a dog that can simply be turned loose with every dog he meets. Because of this, he may do best as an only dog or with an experienced adopter willing to continue working on his behavior. What Crayola lacks in perfect mobility, he more than makes up for in courage. What he lacks in confidence around other dogs, he makes up for in love for people. And what he lacks in luck so far, were hoping to make up for with the perfect forever family. Crayola has already overcome more than most dogs ever will. Now all he needs is a home where he can spend the rest of his life doing what he does best: Loving people and proving that obstacles don't define you. They simply make your story more inspiring.
