Don’t let her small size fool you—Tater Tot is bursting with personality! This adorable Chiweenie (a Chihuahua and Dachshund mix) is about three months old and already full of spunk, sass, and charm. At around 10 pounds, she may be little, but she definitely knows how to make her presence known!
Tater Tot is an energetic pup who loves to stay busy and be part of the action. She’s playful, curious, and always ready for her next adventure. True to her bold personality, she can be a bit bossy with other dogs—even ones much bigger than her! Because of this, she’ll benefit from continued guidance and training to help her grow into a well-mannered companion.
This lively girl is looking for an active person or family who can keep up with her energy and commit to helping her learn and thrive. With time, patience, and consistency, Tater Tot is sure to become an amazing lifelong companion.
Tater Tot came to Pet Rescue By Judy all the way from Puerto Rico, where she and her mom, Honey, were found living on the streets. While her mom has already found her forever home, now it’s Tater Tot’s turn to find a loving family of her own.

Important Information for New Puppy Parents
Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience—but it also comes with important responsibilities. To help your puppy grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted adult dog, dedication to obedience training, socialization, and consistent potty training is essential.
We strongly recommend that the entire family participates in puppy training classes. This not only helps build a strong bond with your new pup but also ensures that everyone is using the same commands and techniques, creating a clear and consistent environment for learning.
**Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement—and so do their families! Let’s set them up for a lifetime of love and success
