Meet Chili

Chili is a 5-month-old little miracle girl with a story as unforgettable as her adorable no-tail wiggle. She’s a tiny pup who looks like a miniature German Shepherd with hints of cattle dog… and maybe even a touch of fox in her expressive face. And those ears — truly the best big ears you’ve ever seen on such a tiny body! At just 12 pounds now, we expect she’ll grow into the perfect sized companion around 20–25 lbs — the ideal little adventure buddy to take everywhere with you.

Chili is the lone survivor of a litter of seven puppies that were dropped off at a fire station, all suffering from parvo. She spent five days hospitalized and fought with everything she had — and she made a full recovery. This little girl is strong, resilient, and absolutely full of life.

And her name fits her perfectly.
Chili has that little chili pepper personality — tiny but spicy in the best way. She’s bold, zesty, and packed with flavor. She showers everyone she meets with kisses, wiggles her whole body when she’s happy, and has a goofy, lovable spark that makes her impossible not to smile around. She can be a bit of a silly little spaz (in the cutest way), always ready to play, zoom, or explore whatever’s next.

Chili is on the higher-energy side, so she’ll thrive with an active owner who wants a true adventure partner. She’s wonderful with people, dogs, and kids. She’s confident, social, and brings that perfect mix of sweetness and sass.

Chili is ready for a forever home that will embrace her enthusiasm, her joy, her giant ears, and her incredible survivor spirit.

If you’re looking for a loving, playful, resilient pup with just the right amount of spice — Chili might just be your perfect match.
