Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). ✨ ADOPTABLE LEGEND ALERT ✨ Meet Harpy — 7 lbs of chiweenie chaos, comedy, and cuddles. Once upon a time, a shelter guessed Harpy was ~4 years old… not because of his teeth, but because of his attitude Plot twist: he’s probably more like 1–2 years old and was just having a ✨rough chapter✨. Let’s talk lore Size: 7 lbs (portable, TSA-sized demon) Age: Young-ish (emotionally ancient in the shelter, youthful gremlin at home) Vision: Very sight-impaired but not fully blind — vibes > visuals Vet visits: Spicy. Especially when thermometers are involved. Don’t we all relate? Past life: Adopted into a loud, busy home with lots of kids/animals → briefly became The Exorcist Current life: Foster home in Sacramento = COMEDY GOLD In his foster home, Harpy has revealed his true form: ✔ Loves humans, visitors, 3 dogs, and 2 cats ✔ Obsessed with toys and being included in literally everything ✔ LOVES walks ✔ Car rides = dramatic whining… unless he’s in foster dad’s lap (problem solved) ✔ Lives for mealtime ✔ Pee pad trained + goes outside (but yeah, accidents happen if access is denied) ✔ Communicates exclusively in chiweenie commentary ✔ Sleeps burrowed under blankets 100% of the time ✔ Will crawl into clean laundry and cause near-death experiences ✔ Sleeps belly-up, balls-out, without shame Medical note : Harpy has corneal edema, but it’s not painful and currently requires no eye drops. Important update from the foster files : Harpy was only away from his foster home ONE night, where he turned into Linda Blair, and in the several weeks since returning, this alleged shape-shifter has shown ZERO signs of possession. The demon era appears to be… over. ➡️ for now. Location: Sacramento Meet him where he feels safe and hilarious — not scared and spicy — so you can see the real Harpy experience. We do not recommend a home with young children. Older calm children that can allow him time to decompress and warm up is OK. Same goes for adults because some adults just can't help themselves either when something is that freaking adorable (Guilty) If you’re open to loving a formerly possessed demon trapped in the body of the Toy Story slinky, send us an email.! Harpy is ready to steal your blankets, your laundry, and your heart.

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.
