Adopt a Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat)

Daphne is an 11 wk old Chihuahua/Dachshund/Terrier mix girl that arrived with her 3 sisters when her owner became ill. This sweet girl is very loving, but interested families should be prepared for full puppy mode. She is very sweet and does like to snuggle, but like most puppies, she has spurts of playfulness. She does like to play fetch (or her version of it) with stuffed animals. Daphne is expected to be 25 lbs or less at her estimated adult weight, prospective pet parents should be prepared for a range the includes as small as 15 lbs.



Daphne is super smart and has pretty much gotten the hang of potty pad training in her playpen. She sleeps in a kennel at night in her foster mom's bedroom. She has been quiet through the night, though her first night away from all of hers siblings, she did wake up crying a couple of times, but went right back to bed. Daphne is the brave girl of the litter. She has always ventured further in the yard, and been the most tolerant and adaptive to new experiences and noises. She has been a very good puppy and loves to fall asleep in the nearest lap if given the opportunity, but will take naps in her playpen or kennel just as well.

Daphne has shown no reaction to the cats in her foster home and is used to the other dogs that are bigger than her.  Daphne is good with children, but toddlers may be overwhelming for a pup her size and in turn, she may become overwhelming for toddlers during her various puppy stages. Current on  age-appropriate vaccinations and microchipped. Adoption includes spay. Current on flea preventative and heartworm preventative. *Before applying for a puppy under 6 months old, please note that we are looking for homes where someone is home frequently, or for those applicants who work 8 hr work days, we ask that you have made arrangements for someone to come home at least once during the day to allow the dog to go out for a potty break. Puppies should remain socialized to other dogs in their formative stages, so homes that can provide exposure to fully vaccinated and healthy well-behaved adult dogs is strongly preferred. If you are interested, please fill out an   Dog Adoption Application Our adoptions include a foster period of 4-6 weeks so that you can be sure that this pet is a good fit without any pressure, and we are available to answer any behavior or training questions during that time (and beyond, if you wish).
