My name is Lollipop. I am a female, white and brown Chihuahua - Smooth Coated mix. I have been at the shelter since Aug 27, 2026. Hi, I’m Lollipop! I'm Lollipop, a 3-month-old Chihuahua mix who has created a bit of a mystery here at the shelter. We know my mom is a Chihuahua. We have met her. We have confirmed her credentials. Dad, however... Sir? Would you care to explain yourself? Because I am walking around looking suspiciously like a tiny Jack Russell Terrier. Long-lost Jack Russell gentleman in the neighborhood? Perhaps. Random combination of genes creating one very convincing disguise? Also possible. The investigation remains open. Personality-wise, I'm a sweet little girl, but I like to take a second to evaluate new people before declaring them friends. Who are you? Why are you here? Do you have snacks? Okay... You seem acceptable. Once I know everything is cool, I'm happy to make friends! I'm just a little more reserved at first and appreciate being allowed to approach things at my own pace. There's also something my future family should know: I'm not particularly interested in being carried around. Yes, I'm tiny. Yes, I'm adorable. Yes, I am conveniently shaped for scooping. That does not mean I have requested transportation. I have four perfectly good little legs, thank you very much. I'd much rather explore the world from ground level, go for walks, sniff interesting things, play, exercise, and experience life as the actual dog that I am. I'm still only three months old, so my future family will have the exciting job of helping shape the dog I become through training, socialization, exercise, and lots of positive experiences. Lollipop may take an extra minute to decide you're her person. But give her that minute. Once you've passed the background check, you've got one adorable little puppy ready to start her life with you. And if anyone happens to see a Jack Russell looking particularly nervous when we start asking questions about my father... Please contact the shelter immediately. Lollipop is spayed, dewormed, microchipped and is up to date with vaccines. Her adoption fee is $650.00, plus $8.50 for the dog license if you are a resident of NYC. Lollipop will also get one free exam with one of our participating veterinarians within 30 days of her adoption. If you'd like to meet Lollipop please visit, we're conveniently located in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn near the F train (Ft Hamilton Pkwy) and the B16 bus and we're open daily for adoptions from 11am to 5:30pm Lollipop can't wait to meet you!

🧠 Temperament
Personality-wise, I'm a sweet little girl, but I like to take a second to evaluate new people before declaring them friends. Bold and deeply bonded to one or two people.
🎾 Exercise
I'd much rather explore the world from ground level, go for walks, sniff interesting things, play, exercise, and experience life as the actual dog…. Low — short walks and indoor play are plenty.
✂️ Grooming
Easy for both smooth and long coats. Dental care is the real priority; small breeds are prone to tooth disease.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Extremely apartment-friendly and easy to carry on the subway. They get cold fast and need a sweater most of the winter.
