Hubby *Arriving 2/20* - Chiweenie Male Dog For Adoption in Princeton, Minnesota, USA

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550.

Hubby is naturally shy, and loud or very busy environments—especially with noisy children—would be overwhelming for him. He’s also a little too curious about cats, so a cat-free home would be best. In a calm, patient setting, though, Hubby’s personality is already starting to peek through in the most adorable ways. As he comes out of his shell, Hubby shows off full-body wiggles, hides around corners just to peek at you, and will even army crawl over for food and treats—a sure sign that trust is building. Every small step feels like a big victory with this sweet boy. Hubby came from a crowded shelter in Texas and is still learning that the world can be kind. He needs time, warmth, and patience to truly blossom into the dog he’s meant to be. With gentle encouragement and a steady routine, his confidence will continue to grow. If you have a quiet home and a soft spot for sensitive souls, Hubby is ready to reward your patience with loyalty, wiggles, and a whole lot of love. Hubby is from Texas.
