Chihuahua and Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption

What my friends at OHS say about me:
I have been working with the Behavior team at OHS and I'm looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. Click the "meet me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment.
To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.

Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!
I'm a fiend for food! Snacks are a great way to make friends with me and win your way into my heart.
Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!
New things are a little scary to me, but I all I need is time and someone to show me it's okay.
I lived with cats in my previous home.


The type of home I'm looking for:
I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
I need to go to a home without small children. Fast movement and loud noises can be frightening to me. I would do best with calm, dog savvy, teenagers.

It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
