Energy Level: High (puppy energy) Fence Required: No Dog's Location: Raleigh, NC About Arthur’s Breed: Our best guess is that Arthur is a Pomeranian/Chihuahua mixed breed. Pomeranian/Chihuahua mixes — often called Pomchis — are tiny, expressive companion dogs with big personalities packed into small bodies. They’re known for being lively, affectionate, and people oriented, often forming strong bonds with their families. These mixes blend the Pomeranian’s playful confidence with the Chihuahua’s cuddly loyalty, creating a dog who loves both activity and snuggle time. Their ideal home is one that offers gentle guidance, patience, and plenty of togetherness. Pomchis thrive with families who enjoy interactive play, consistent training, and lots of affection. Because they can be sensitive and a bit cautious in new situations, they do best in homes that move at a respectful pace — especially around small dogs — and provide cozy spaces for them to feel secure. With warmth, routine, and loving humans nearby, Pomchis become incredibly devoted, joyful companions. What to Love about Arthur: Arthur is a playful, bouncy little guy who loves zooming around, wrestling with doggie friends, and then melting into full body cuddles once his energy is out! He adores people — kids included — and greets the world with curiosity, sweetness, and just a touch of puppy bravado. He loves most dogs but may bark until he feels comfortable, and once he does, he’s all in. Because he thrives with canine companionship, Arthur must have at least one doggie sibling in his forever home; size doesn’t matter, but personality does, so a meet and greet with your resident dog can be arranged! He’s still working on potty training, crate training, and leash skills, and he’ll need a patient, encouraging family to help him continue learning. Arthur can be crated when you’re away, though he may bark since he’s still a baby figuring things out. He’s curious but cautious around cats and would likely do well with slow introductions. With his playful nature, cuddly heart, and eagerness to learn, Arthur is looking for a home that will play, guide, reassure, and snuggle him through puppyhood. He’s a silly, loving little boy who just needs the right family to help him grow into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be!
