Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed. *Name: Ophelia *Age: 2-3 years old *Current Weight: 11 lbs *Adoption fee: $475 Ophelia’s story is one of quiet strength and resilience. This beautiful mama survived life on the streets, raising her puppies all on her own before being rescued. She’s been through so much, yet her gentle spirit has never wavered. Ophelia recently underwent FHO surgery (to help repair her hip) and is recovering wonderfully. Through it all, she’s shown nothing but patience, sweetness, and a heart full of love. She can be a little timid at first, but once she feels safe, Ophelia blossoms into the most affectionate companion. She absolutely adores her people and would love nothing more than to curl up beside them for snuggles. While she prefers the company of humans over dogs, she is fine being around other pups who respect her space. Ophelia has given so much of herself as a mama—now it’s her turn to be cared for, cherished, and spoiled.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Chiweenie, an adorable and increasingly popular designer breed, is a delightful cross between the spirited Chihuahua and the charming Dachshund. Originating in the United States, these small companions inherited a unique blend of traits from their parent breeds. Physically, they typically possess a long, low body reminiscent of the Dachshund, combined with the often-large ears and expressive eyes of the Chihuahua. Their coats can vary widely in color and texture, from short and smooth to long and wiry. Temperamentally, Chiweenies are known for being loyal, affectionate, and surprisingly energetic. They often exhibit a playful and sometimes stubborn streak, making early socialization and training beneficial. Their small size makes them well-suited for apartment living and families with older children or individuals seeking a devoted lapdog. While generally robust, potential health considerations include issues common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation and intervertebral disc disease, making regular veterinary check-ups important for their long-term well-being.
