Please be aware we do not hold dogs until an appointment to meet them is scheduled. Sweetest little boy ever! Approximate DOB 5/25/2025 – He weighs about 5 lbs Toffee along with his siblings Taffy and Tootsie were part of a large hoarding case(Chihuahuas, Miniature Pinschers, Dachshunds, and Toy Fox Terriers). Their mom was a tiny Chihuahua about 6 lbs but we do not know which dog/s was/were the dad/s. This little guy has more of a Dachshund body and is very small. Crate trained and uses a dog door like a champ. Adopter would need to make sure he knows where the dog door is and the rules of the new home. Toffee has a long body, little legs, and large perked ears. He is very outgoing, playful, and very sweet. He should have a very active family that can help him burn off all that energy. He loves toys and is very treat motivated but his favorite things are exploring, following his favorite person around, and cuddling in their arms. If it was up to him he would be held and carried around 24/7. He has been raised with children, dogs, and cats in the foster home and loves everyone he meets. He is an absolute gem who will make a wonderful addition to any family wanting a sweet little boy that loves to snuggle up after a day of exploring.

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.
