Wallace *Arriving 7/25* D11804 - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption

Wallace is looking for a dog to adopt him.
If that dog happens to come with people, that's fine too.
Wallace is not the kind of dog who dreams about sitting in your lap all day or constantly asking for pets. He enjoys sharing space with his humans and being part of whatever is going on around him.
In fact, Wallace will happily follow you from room to room. Not because he needs attention, but because he likes to keep an eye on things. He is the neighborhood watch coordinator of your house, quietly supervising your activities and adorably peeking around corners to see what you're doing.
He loves a comfy dog bed, enjoys hanging out with his dog friends, and has some of the cutest body wiggles you will ever see when he is happy. If you pick him up, he will happily tolerate being held, but it is not something he seeks out on his own.
While Wallace doesn't require constant affection from people, he does have one important request: he would really like a dog sibling who will play with him. Other dogs are his favorite thing, and he would love a home where he has a canine friend to wrestle, play, and hang out with.
Wallace is perfect for someone who appreciates a dog simply being present. No constant demands, no need to be the center of attention, just a sweet little guy who wants to be included in your daily routine while maintaining his independence.
If your ideal companion is a dog who will quietly supervise your activities, make you smile with his adorable wiggles, and spend his days relaxing nearby with a dog friend by his side, Wallace may be exactly who you are looking for.
Wallace is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 7/255/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am and noon. 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.
