Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (medium coat). Maisy is an incredibly sweet, affectionate dog who is a joy to have around. She loves being part of whatever you're doing and quickly wins people over with her fun, social personality. Energy Level? Medium. Maisy has bursts of playful "mountain goat" energy and enjoys exploring, but she's equally happy relaxing with a sunny spot for a nap. House-trained? Mostly. Maisy does well about going outside to potty but has had some accidents on the rugs , so her foster has found it easiest to keep those picked up while she continues to build good habits. Describe how they are on leash? Maisy walks well on leash and enjoys getting out for walks and adventures. Describe how they are with other dogs? When meeting new dogs, Maisy may bark or lunge initially, but once she has a chance to settle in and become comfortable, she does well and enjoys canine companionship. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Yes. Maisy has lived with a cat, whom she happily ignores, and she gets along very well with another dog in her foster home. Commands they know? Maisy is still learning her basic commands and is currently working on "sit," "off," and "quiet." She's eager to learn with positive reinforcement. What are their favorite things? Attention, affection, affection, affection, food (especially treats!), walks, and spending time with her people. She also enjoys social outings after she's had a little time to check out her surroundings. What do they need to work on? Maisy is continuing to learn her basic manners and commands. Like many curious dogs, she'll occasionally help herself to shoes or laundry if they're left within reach, so she'll benefit from continued training, puppy proofing, and management. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? Maisy does well when left alone. She is crated for up to four hours at a time, typically no more than a couple of days each week, and handles it well. Where do they sleep? Maisy sleeps comfortably in her crate. What is their ideal home? Maisy is a wonderfully adaptable dog who would fit into many different types of homes. She has done well with dogs and cats, and while she hasn't been around children yet, her sweet, social nature suggests she could do well with a family willing to give her a proper introduction. Whether it's a single person, a couple, or a family, Maisy will thrive with people who enjoy including her in their daily lives and can provide moderate exercise, continued training, and lots of love. She's an easygoing, affectionate companion who forms strong bonds and will make a wonderful addition to a lucky family. The Adoption fee is $325.

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.
