Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Sherman is with our partner rescue in LA and can come to NJ with an approved foster or adopter Meet Sherman, an 8-month-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix weighing about 15 pounds. This little guy didn’t have the best start—he spent much of his early life confined to a crate, so the world still feels a bit scary to him. Sherman is shy and may run and hide at first, but he is not mean—just a gentle, scared puppy who needs time to feel safe. With patience, love, and a calm home, Sherman has so much potential to blossom into a loyal, loving companion. He’s looking for someone willing to go slow and show him that life can be good. If you have a soft spot for the shy ones, Sherman is waiting for you. Sherman is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. He is neutered and has a microchip. His adoption fee is $600. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home.

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.
