SATURN Chihuahua Mix Phoenix, AZ

Saturn is a one-year-old, 24-pound Chihuahua mix who’s searching for a patient adopter to help him feel safe and secure in the world. Currently a bit overwhelmed by his surroundings, Saturn thrives in calm, quiet environments where he can build trust at his own pace. He appreciates gentle movements and prefers being approached from the side.

Though he’s wary of other dogs and busy settings, Saturn shows a softer side in peaceful spaces. If you sit on the ground and give him time, he’ll gather his courage and come closer. While he might stiffen up initially when touched, he soon inches forward, asking for more affection. Sudden movements, such as standing quickly, can intimidate him, but he’s a curious boy who enjoys sniffing and exploring once he feels comfortable.

Saturn will need time and patience to decompress in a new home, but for those willing to go at his pace, he’ll reward them with loyal companionship. His adoption fee of $225 includes essential services such as spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital.

If you’re ready to offer Saturn a loving and steady home, schedule an appointment during adoption hours, Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, by calling 602-971-1334. Saturn is waiting to be your gentle, devoted friend.
