Marcus - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Tampa, Florida

Hi, I'm Marcus, a 2-year-old tan Chihuahua-Dachshund mix with a heart as big as they come! I'm already neutered and ready to settle into my forever home with you. At about 19 pounds, I'm the perfect lap-dog size, and my loyal nature means I'll be your devoted shadow and best friend. My adoption fee is $130, and I can't wait to meet the person who's been looking for a companion like me. Come say hello - I promise you won't regret it!

When I arrived here, I was found to be heartworm positive and lucky for me, the nice people here decided to treat me. Don't worry though; I'm still available for adoption today!! I MUST return to our AHC for my scheduled appointments. I will have to be leash walked only and kept calm. I may be a little bit more work than some of the other dogs here, but I know I am worth it.
