Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 500. Meet Frank — a soft heart learning how to be brave. Frank is six months old, and the kind of love he offers is the quiet, precious kind you earn. He’s timid at first, watching the world carefully, but once he trusts you, he melts straight into your lap like he’s always belonged there. Snuggles are his love language. He’s not a fan of crates, but give him space and patience and you’ll see his real joy shine through—especially when he’s racing around the house with his current roommate, ears flying, discovering how fun life can be. Frank is a quick learner who wants to do well. He’s already working on sit, touch, and down, and he lights up when he realizes he’s gotten it right. Squeaky toys make his tail go wild. Warm laps make him feel safe. What he truly needs is a calm, experienced person with the time and heart to gently coach him all the way out of his shell. Someone who understands that the best love stories don’t rush—they grow. If you’re patient, kind, and ready to fall in love with a dog who will love you back with his whole soul, Frank is waiting Frank is a scared pup, and he will need a calm, patient family who understands that he needs time to warm up and trust them. Families home most of the day and with another confident / social dog are preferred. If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application .

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.
