Ollie - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Covington, Washington

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION.

7-year-old male Chiweenie ?, about 15 pounds. Don't let his age fool you! He is full of energy, love and beautiful coloring. His foster mom has two very docile Shih Tzu girls who tolerate his exuberance with patience. Ollie is learning boundaries and rules (do not lift your leg in the house, do not hump your foster sisters, do not walk on the living room end tables, sleep in your crate at night, etc.). He would do well with confident dogs and an owner who is not a pushover because he is smart enough to take advantage of a softie. He takes direction well! :) He has taken to the doggy door with little instruction. Though his foster mom has gates on the stairs, he figured out pretty quickly how to go through the balusters to access the upstairs of the house. He would do well with someone who is active and will keep him intellectually stimulated. Ollie just wants to love his people, take some adventurous walks, eat, snuggle in his favorite donut bed and be loved in return. To request an adoption application, email smidgetrescue@hotmail.com

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.

We are not a shelter nor open to the public. Our dogs are in foster care around the Puget Sound.  ...
