Atalanta - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Madison, Wisconsin

Meet Atalanta!

Atalanta is a sweet Chihuahua mix who came to us alongside another Chihuahua, Hestia. She may take a little time to feel comfortable in new surroundings, but once she settles in, she is a friendly little companion who is ready to find someone to love.

Since Atalanta came in with another Chihuahua, she would likely enjoy having a canine friend in her new home. She would also likely do well with cats. Atalanta is looking for a patient family who will give her the time, encouragement, and love she needs to build confidence and come out of her shell.

With a little patience, we think Atalanta will make a wonderful and loyal companion!

All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough. If you're interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at https://www.sftsrescue.org/adoptable-dogs
