Story

Age: 6/4/2025 Weight: 30lbs. Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: unknown/not tested Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Yes, good on a schedule Crate trained: Yes, fine when left alone Meet Pistachio — the sweetest little brindle low‑rider around! At just 30 lbs, Pistachio is a certified couch potato with a heart of gold. She may be a pittie-dachshund mix… or maybe she’s just uniquely adorable. Either way, she’s impossible not to love. Pistachio is calm, gentle, and has yet to bark a single time. She’s fully potty‑trained, sleeps through the night in her crate, rides beautifully in the car, and walks politely on a leash. She loves other dogs, gives kisses freely to every human she meets, enjoys toys and occasionally gets a burst of zoomies. Her zoomies only last about a minute before she flops down like the silly, low‑energy sweetheart she is. She approaches new situations with a bit of caution, but her tail never stops wagging and she warms up quickly. Pistachio doesn’t need a fenced yard since she potties well on leash and prefers sticking close to her people anyway. If you’re looking for a sweet, calm, easy companion who fits perfectly into almost any home, Pistachio is your girl. Anyone would be lucky to have her! Adoption fee: $595
