Rex - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Mead, Colorado

Meet Rex! This 6-month-old, 5 lbs, Chihuahua/Dachshund mix is a sweet, snuggly little guy who loves people, playing with toys, and doing all the fun puppy things. When playtime is over, he’s happy to curl up with his favorite humans for some quality cuddle time. He’s dog-friendly and sleeps happily in his crate with his brother.

Rex has a few things he’s still working on, including potty training, and he can be a little protective of his space or his beloved yak cheese. He’ll benefit from continued guidance and security that he doesn’t have to defend his favorite things. He’s also a bit of a picky eater, so mealtime may require some negotiation!

Rex is a typical work-in-progress puppy with lots of love to give. He’s ready for a family who will help him navigate puppyhood, build his confidence, and give him plenty of opportunities to play, learn, and snuggle.

As a young pup, Rex sustained a break to his growth plates in his front right leg. It has caused that leg to grow a little wonky. At present, the breaks are not painful and he runs and plays and uses his leg like normal (only it’s not). It’s possible, as he ages, he may need supportive care and/or an amputation. Only time will tell!

Rex is in foster in Parker, Colorado.
