Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Emmett is a wonderful 5-year-old Chi mix with a happy heart and an irresistible waggy tail that never stops when he sees his people. He’s fantastic with children—including his foster’s one-year-old—and loves being part of the family, eagerly approaching with a gentle request for pets. Emmett adores his humans and enjoys following them around, always wanting to be close, and while he would do perfectly fine as an only dog, he absolutely LOVES having a canine buddy to play with. He’s a curious boy who gets excited on walks and may pull on the leash because he wants to explore every smell, and he might bark at first until he settles into the routine and feels secure. Emmett is a smart, well-mannered boy who already knows commands like “go to bed” and “go lay down,” and he sleeps peacefully in the living room alongside his doggy foster sibling. Emmett is truly an all-around good boy ready to bring love and companionship to his new home. Emmett is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 12/6/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 4:30pm and 8pm. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

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.
