Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300. Meet Pepita! Pepita is a 3-year-old, 9 pound Chiweenie with a heart full of love. She’s the best cuddle buddy - if you let her, she’d happily spend the whole day curled up on your lap or right beside you on the couch. She’s great on leash, fully potty trained, and gets along great with both dogs and cats. She also seems like she’d do just fine as an only dog, soaking up all your love and attention. Pepita clearly came from a loving home before - she’s so affectionate and trusting. She’s still working on a couple of things: she can be a bit anxious when left alone (she’ll bark for a while, though this has improved a lot with time), and she sometimes lap guards her person. Both behaviors have already gotten better in foster care. Overall, Pepita is a sweet, loyal companion who will make a wonderful addition to a calm, loving home. She’s ready to give someone her whole heart and tons of cuddles. ❤️ Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for Pepita is $300. If you are interested in adopting Pepita, please complete our online adoption application at .gratefuldogsrescue/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area. See our other available dogs at .gratefuldogsrescue/available-dogs/

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.
