Francois - Chihuahua and Miniature Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Warren, Rhode Island

Hi! My name is Francois.

I am a fun little guy with lots of love and energy to give. I am a little scared at first but warm up quickly. They tell me that I am a Chiweenie (Chihuahua and Dachshund mix). I am 3 months old and I weigh around 9 lbs.

I love playing with my foster brothers who are all much bigger than me. Chasing them outside, doing zoomies and romping over a toy are my favourite things.

I am still a puppy so I do like to chew on things but can be easily redirected with a bone. My foster mom lets me stay out with the others when shes gone and I love sleeping in her bed at night. But sometimes I have to go in a crate and while I whine a little, I calm down quickly.

Ive figured out the dog door and will take myself out to potty. I still sometimes go in the house, but mostly outside. Im too young to walk on a leash, but I know I will love that too.

With my new collar, some say I look like Scrappy Doo, but I prefer the fancier name of Francois.

Francois is being fostered in Austin, TX and is adoptable in Texas and Northeastern States.
