About Sonya’s Breed:
A Chihuahua/Corgi mix like Sonya combines intelligence, devotion, and a touch of sass. These breeds are known for being alert, loyal, and full of personality in small, portable packages. Sonya embodies the best of both worlds—she’s as loving and snuggly as a Chihuahua but with the Corgi’s smarts, charm, and spunky energy.
Sonya’s Story & Personality:
Sonya is an absolute delight—sweet, loving, and whip-smart. She learns fast, listens well, and loves to please her people. Within days, she picked up her new name and routine, proving just how sharp and adaptable she is. She knows “Sit” and “Down,” especially when treats (or as she calls them, “cookies”!) are involved.
She’s fabulous with people and adores attention, but she does need to be the only pet due to her high prey drive and intolerance for other animals. Despite that, she’s all heart when it comes to humans—friendly, outgoing, and always ready to snuggle or play with her stuffed toys.
Sonya enjoys her walks, rides beautifully in the car, and loves a good lounge session on the couch. Whether she’s hunting imaginary critters in the yard or curling up beside you, she brings joy and laughter to every moment.
Sonya’s Ideal Home:
A pet-free home where she can be the center of attention
An adopter who appreciates an affectionate, clever companion
Someone who enjoys daily walks and quiet time together
A calm household with older or respectful children
Ready to Welcome This One-of-a-Kind Sweetheart?
Sonya is ready to share her love, loyalty, and joy with her forever family. She’s the perfect mix of brains, heart, and charm—and whoever adopts her will have a devoted best friend for life.
