Lenny (Bonded W/Squiggy) - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Fort Worth, Texas

If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment to visit with this animal, please email us at info@animalhope.org or call 817‐984‐1129 between 12 pm and 6 pm.

Lenny is a 21⁄2‐year‐old tan Chihuahua weighing about 10.8 pounds. He and his brother, Squiggy, were rescued off the streets of New Orleans. Their finder wanted to help them but was already at their pet limit, so the boys were transferred to us to find a safe, permanent home together.

Like his brother, Lenny is in good health, just slightly underweight, and has been cleared by our veterinary team. He is shy and standoffish at first, and he needs time and reassurance before he begins to show his true personality. Once he feels secure, he becomes incredibly sweet -- and he and Squiggy share funny, endearing little quirks that make them a joy to watch.

The adoption fee for the bonded pair is $400.

Because we don't observe our animals in home settings, we aren't able to guarantee whether he is housebroken.

Upon intake, every animal receives:

Spay/neuter surgery

Microchip

All age‐appropriate vaccinations

Blood and fecal testing (with treatment if needed)

Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention

A complimentary wellness exam 7-10 days after adoption

Adopters must be at least 21 years old and live within an hour of our facility.

If you'd like to meet Lenny, we'd be happy to help. He's a gentle, sensitive Chihuahua who thrives with patience -- and he is happiest right by Squiggy's side.
