Finding a dog that is suitable for your smaller living space can be hard. Here are a few dogs that might be right for you.

Chihuahuas are small and great for smaller homes. They don’t grow big, only around 5-8 inches tall. Although they are aggressive dogs they can be really sweet to their owners. They don’t weigh all that much, only around 4-6 pounds but that can change depending on how much you feed them. These dogs would be a great choice for your smaller home like many of these other dogs.

Pomeranians are fluffy balls of joy. They are super cute and small just like chihuahuas. Though they are a little bit bigger growing to around 7-12 inches tall. They weigh around 4-8 pounds. They can be aggressive to strangers so make sure to introduce them slowly to new people. Other than that they are happy and chipper dogs.

Japanese Chins are playful and affectionate. Japanese Chins are great to cuddle with. They weigh 7-11 pounds and have a height of 8-11 inches tall. They live around 12-14 years and need a lot of attention but not so much physical exercise.

Yokipoos are so adorable and tiny they only grow to 7-15 inches tall. Hellobark.com says “Yorkipoos are considered hypoallergenic dogs for the most part, although there’s no guarantee they won’t aggravate your allergies.”

If you love lady and the tramp and you want a dog that looks like “lady” then an English Cocker Spaniel is your kind of dog. Males grow up to 16-17 inches and weigh 28-34 pounds. Females on the other hand weigh 26-32 pounds and are 15-16 inches tall. Were bred bird hunting dogs. Live for about 12-14 years. Make sure to train once you get one because a good trained English Cocker Spaniel is a good dog to have.

Pugs are not as light as some of these other breeds. Pugs usually weigh around 14-18 lbs. but that can change if you feed them more often than most. Pugs grow to 12 inches tall. They aren’t hypoallergenic which is a letdown but they are very nice dogs and great for children. They do snore and don’t do so well in hot humid areas so make sure to keep an eye on them while outside when it’s hot. A great website to visit to learn more about pugs is hillspet.com.

If you are interested in any of these dogs I encourage you to see if any places might be selling any of these adorable dogs.

Animalsaroundtheglobe says “There are now 41,415 species on the IUCN Red List, and 16,306 of them are endangered species threatened with extinction.” We all need to do our help to lower the endangered list.

5 endangered animals

#1: Javan Rhinoceros

There are less than 75 Javan Rhinoceros left around the world. These Rhinoceros live in Ujung Kulon National Park. They are dying off because of habitat loss, diseases being spread, and poaching. If u don’t know what poaching is, it is when people kill an animal illegally. Usually, the animals have something valuable like animal fur or teeth. Lots of animals are going extinct because of poaching.

#2: Tigers

Tigers are endangered because of poaching, habitat loss, trading of tiger parts, global warming, and human conflict. If you see poaching please contact someone who can help. Such as the police or a park ranger. There are only 3890 tigers left in the wild. In some countries there are less than 200 hundred tigers but, over the last few years, the tiger population has risen. To find out more about the tiger population and what you can do go to Bring Back Tigers.

#3: Asian Elephants

Asian elephants are beautiful creatures. There are fewer than 50,000 due to being threatened by loss of habitat, habitat degradation, fragmentation, and poaching. They have been on the endangered list since 1986, around 35 years. Their numbers have dropped 50% over the last 75 years. They are located in and around India. They play an important role in their environment. They limited the growth of vegetation and spread the seeds of the plants they eat. Theweek.com says that the Asian Elephants will go extinct in around 12 years. So around 2033.

#4: Bornean Orangutans

Bornean orangutans and Sumatran orangutans have lost their homes from the destruction of the rain forest. They usually live up in the trees so it might be hard to change to their new environment. They have been on the endangered list since 2008. That’s around 12 or 13 years. Over 13,000 Sumatran Orangutans left and 104,000 Bornean Orangutans left.They both live around the rain forests of Southeast Asian islands (Borneo and Sumatra). They play an important role in seed dispersal and keeping the forest at its best. If they were to disappear then a lot of plants and trees would disappear with it and some other animals that live in those trees and feed off those plants might even become endangered.

#5: Mountain Gorillas

Mountain gorillas population is only 604 and all of them live in parks located in east-central Africa. They are going extinct mostly because of habitat loss, hunting, and diseases. Gorillafund.org says that gorillas play an important part in “dispersing seeds, letting in light, and shaping plant communities within the forest.” They also mention, “Protecting gorillas helps protect these other vital plants, animals, and insects as well.” so without gorillas, their habitat wouldn’t be the same.

With your help, we can help take all of these animals off the endangered list and help them stay off.
