CHROMIA - DACHSHUND / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed. Meet Chromia! Chromia's an affectionate, sweet, and playful chiweenie that's ready to find her forever home now that her puppies are leaving the nest. She's about 15 lbs and just a year old, and has the softest velvety coat. She is a pro at winning you over with endearing eyes and those little forehead wrinkles. Chromia is silly, spunky, and very sweet. She loves to be close to her people, and is very cuddly, loves affection, and will whine at you for attention or to tell you she wants something. She can be a little bit of a talker like that! She'll roll on her belly for pets and wants to be a spoiled little princess! Chromia is playful whether it's playing with your fingers and gently mouthing them or chasing a ball. She is bouncy and fast! She also loves to play with toys, and tosses them in the air to pounce on. She has some cute quirks like occasionally picking up her food bowl carefully to carry it to a preferred spot to eat which is always impressive how she doesn't spill it! She likes to wiggle under the covers to sleep, and when she plays with dogs she makes funny play noises while tucking her head upside down on the ground. She came to a California shelter heavily pregnant, and was rushed out of there as it's no place for newborn puppies. On transport she couldn't wait and gave birth to three healthy puppies. She's been the best mom to them, is always patient and loves playing with them. Now that they're grown up it's time for her new life to start, and what a joyful companion she will make for a family. Chromia is being fostered with 3 other small dogs and enjoys their company and loves playing with them. We think she'd have a good time having a dog friend(s) that will also keep her company when you're away. She can be a little bossy with other dogs, and will let them know what her boundaries are. Now that she's moving on from motherhood, she's slowly learning how to be a good dog citizen and can be a bit nervous and shy to meet people, but is curious and treat motivated. As soon as she knows you're safe she'll sweetly melt for pets. When she's accompanying you on running errands she stays close to you, and will look to you for support. With more encouragement that new people and dogs are friends to be made we know she'll be a confident pup soon! The best home for Chromia would be a family with a playful confident small / medium sized dog, and a family that is patient, gentle, and will continue to support her with force-free positive training. Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Adoption fee is $425. She's being fostered in the SE Portland Area.
