Waffles Clark *Arriving 10/24* D12782 - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption

Hi, I'm Waffles Clark, a 2-year-old Chiweenie with a soft spot for snuggles, cozy blankets, and sunny afternoons! I'm a laid-back little guy who loves getting a few lovies before burrowing under a blanket or stretching out for a good sunbath. My favorite time of day? Breakfast, of course!

I can be a little shy when meeting new people or dogs, but I warm up quickly with a little patience. I walk nicely on a leash and know some basic training. I'm still working on potty training and learning to feel more comfortable in my kennel.

I should mention that I can be protective of my meals, so I'm fed in my kennel where I can enjoy my food in peace. Because I'm a tiny fellow, I'd do best with older, respectful children and a family willing to help me continue building confidence.

If you're looking for a sweet little companion who loves sunshine, snuggles, and being a cozy blanket burrito, I might just be your Waffles!
Waffles Clark is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 10/24/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and 11:00am. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
