Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Lily, formerly known as Apple, had a rough start to her life. She was originally found as a stray in Manhattan and was brought to the NYC animal shelter. Poor Lily was so sick when she came into foster she had to go to the vet right away and they confirmed pneumonia. She was not doing well with home care so she went to stay at the hospital and made a full recovery. Despite not feeling well, all she wanted to do was to be held and loved. She is such a sweetheart and so very easy to love. She was adopted after her recovery but unfortunately her new canine sibling is unwilling to play with her and she’s not taking the hint. She is sweet as sugar and loves to cuddle with her people. She is friendly and interactive with strangers and everyone she meets- she will jump on your lap- but it is unknown how she is with children. She is curious and likes to explore. She is mostly housebroken, a work in progress because of the weather, but does use pee pads. She is crate trained, good on leash, and likes car rides (although she has gotten car sick at times.) She rarely barks! She is playful and joyful but not overly energetic. She loves her orange octopus- her favorite toy. She would make a great companion and is looking for a home with a dog who would be a good match or possibly as an only dog. She may be uncomfortable with over handling - so go slow a first! We think she could benefit from basic obedience training. Lily could be a wonderful addition to your family. Lily is fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Her adoption fee is $450. If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to wag-on-inn. To apply, click HERE or on our website, go to Adoptable Pets and Adoption Application. A Wag On Inn volunteer will be in touch soon! Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

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.
