Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Meet Chippy! Chippy is a really sweet, cuddly dog once he has some time to trust you - which is understandable since he was abandoned on the side of a road in a crate. He loves snuggling on the couch in the evenings and does well on a leash around his foster's yard. He definitely needs his space in the beginning and, as he's lived in his foster home, has started to really relax and trust as time goes on. He'll need someone patient enough to let him adjust on his terms, which may take a few weeks. He isn't reactive around other dogs, but isn't particularly interested in them, either. Chippy is potty trained (and let's me know when he needs to go out!) and loves laying in the sun on the deck and sleeping all day while his foster mom works. He doesn't like being crated, but he's been great when he is just left loose in the house - no issues when his foster leaves him alone. He sleeps all night at the foot of her bed. He's just a really chill, easy-going dog once he trusts you and will do well in a home where things are more quiet. Due to Chippy's timid nature, he is not suitable for a home with children. A home with a yard, where he can putter to his hearts content, will be best for him. Chippy is vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $395 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.

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.
