Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). This little guy is part of our Olympic crew — five siblings rescued together from the streets of Guánica, Puerto Rico. At just 2½ months old and about 5 pounds, he’s happy, healthy, and thriving. After being lovingly fostered in Puerto Rico, he and his four sisters began their own Olympic journey – flying to Miami and then traveling by car all the way to New Jersey, where they are now safe and ready for forever homes. It was a long trip for such little pups, but they handled it like gold medalists. Each pup is named after an Olympic hero. This sweet boy is Jack, named after Olympic champion Jack Hughes, and he carries that same determined, champion spirit. Though small in size, he’s big in heart — playful, affectionate, and wonderful with kids. He loves to romp around and then snuggle up close. From surviving on the streets to making the long journey north, our Olympic crew has proven they are fighters. Now, Jack is ready to win the greatest gold medal of all — a forever family of his own.

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.
