Felicity - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Alafaya, Florida

***Local adoption only: Felicity needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking her to her follow-up vaccinations and neuter (at the appropriate time) with PPR's vetting partner. The cost for these is covered in the adoption donation.***

Hello! My name is Felicity and I am a Chi-Weenie (Chihuahua Dachshund) girl. I am 11 WEEKS old and am a petite puppy at 3.9 lbs. I'm “all puppy” and still learning about this great big world. I need a “fur”ever home where someone can teach me, train me and love me.

Favorite Things: Felicity is a very playful puppy who enjoys her toys - the more she can have, the better! She also loves to be held when she is sleepy.

Training & Manners: As a young puppy, Felicity has been hard at work with house training. Felicity has not had experience with leash walking yet, so will need someone willing to work on leash skills, as well as basic manners. She tolerates a car ride.

Health and Care: Felicity is up to date on vaccines, but will require boosters, as well as her spay at the appropriate time. The cost of these is covered in her adoption donation and they will be scheduled at one of PPR's vetting partners. Felicity should not need any elaborate grooming but will just require nail trims and an occasional bath to make her look and feel her best.

Other Animals: Felicity is currently in a foster home with her brother Fletch and loves to play with him. She has not been tested with cats, but we think she would be okay with them after a slow introduction.

Children: Due to her tiny size, Felicity will do best in a home with respectful, older children (8+) who are supervised by the adults in the home.

Ideal Home: Felicity would do well in a single-family home, apartment or condo. She will need lots of playtime and exercise to work out her puppy energy. She would do best in a home where someone is home more often than not (especially as she works on her potty training). When home alone, Felicity does fine in a secure area and after a day of play, she is happy to curl up and sleep in her own secure space.

Overall: If you are looking for an affectionate, adventurous and gentle girl, Felicity could be the perfect match for you. With consistent training and gentle guidance, she has all the potential to become your new best friend.

Do you think Felicity could be the one for you? If so, please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $550.
