Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (medium coat). Yes, just like the enchanting shy house elf from Harry Potter, Dobbie will stare up at you with his big, precious brown eyes. He probably picks up great channels with those two big satellite dish ears of his, and with his cute short legs and long dachshund body, itâs clear heâs a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. What an adorable boy! Dobbie was allegedly found abandoned in an open carrier, which he seems to take comfort in now, often snuggling inside with a blanket in his kennel. During one volunteerâs first interaction with him, she expected to simply sit nearby, let him initiate contact, and speak softly to him. She was delighted when he immediately came over, wagging his tail, crawling into her lap, and giving kisses. Heâs quite the wiggly little fella with lots of squiggly energy. Dobbie loves walks and is a dream on leash. Heâs patient while you put it on and then trots happily along on his little legs, carrying those adorably large ears. In the yard, he lights up around squeaky toys. Heâll zoom off, toss a toy into the air, chase it, and run joyful circles. Heâll even play fetch for a moment, though his spunky energy sometimes sends him back into zoomie mode. Dobbie would likely do well in a home with a yard or with adopters who can take him to parks where he can run and be his playful self. He does enjoy chasing and playing with shoes, which is something future adopters can help him work on with training. Itâs also important to note that Dobbie is a very sweet boy who has likely been through a lot. He seems to love women but is quite fearful of men, as observed by male staff and volunteers. A meet-and-greet will be important to ensure he feels comfortable with potential adopters. Youâre in good hands now, little boy, with lots of love from volunteers and staff coming your way. If you know someone who might be interested in adopting Dobbie, come meet him at the Burbank Animal Shelter. He deserves to be free, just like the Harry Potter character. I bet he even likes socks. All we know for sure is that Dobbie is a friend.

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.
