ECLAIR -SWEET TREATS LITTER - CHIHUAHUA / DACHSHUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 375.. Meet ÉCLAIR, the last and most extra special puppy from the Sweet Treats litter. She was the first born and smallest of mama Lacie’s litter. Éclair developed on a slower timeline than her siblings but now our darling girl is ready to find her “happily ever after”. She has a zest for life and an unwavering desire to maximize FUN whenever possible A likely chiweenie mix, she is 6 lbs at 16 weeks old, so we believe she'll be about 12lbs when she's full grown. Eclair took a little longer than her siblings to develop physically and had some initial mobility challenge. She has improved greatly but she can be slightly unsteady on her four paws at times, but it doesn't prevent her from being a normal, joyful puppy. She has grown stronger over time (thanks to the early wrestling matches with her four siblings) and she is happiest when she can do zoomies in the back yard or race around the house like a Nascar driver at the Daytona 500. She might lose her footing now and then, but she gets right back up like nothing ever happened! Slick floors are a little scary for her but she is quickly learning how to pick herself up and move when she gets stuck. Eclair absolutely loves being held and cuddled, often offering sweet kisses of gratitude when in someone's arms. She has always been comforted by physical touch and has been extensively handled (and loved) from the moment she was born. She will fall fast asleep quickly and often sleeps deeply for long periods. After romping around in the yard and playing with her foster siblings she needs naps to recover and refuel. Her favorite ways to relax are gnawing on a bully stick in someone's lap or playing while staying close to (or on) her person. But when she's awake and can't see her foster mom, she plaintively whimpers to let her know she doesn't want to be left out! FOMO is a real thing for Eclair since she grew up with highly social siblings and is accustomed to having a playmate or some form of companionship most of the time. Eclair would thrive in a home with another dog who is grounded, highly tolerant of puppy antics and energy, and can teach her proper dog manners gently. She tries hard to befriend the bigger dogs with a sweet submissiveness but sometimes doesn't understand the cues to keep her distance. Eclair's sunny personality, love of life, and eagerness to join in the fun with other dogs and people make her a great companion. Her foster mom says she is very easy to care for and has been deeply moved by Eclair's determination to be a "normal" puppy like her siblings. Éclair may outgrow her mobility issues or she may always have some slight issues. Either way, she’s a precious little bundle of joy who steals away the hearts of everyone she meets.
