Sabine is a sweet, snuggly female Chiweenie, about 9 pounds and estimated to be 5-7 yrs old, with a gorgeous chestnut red coat - even her tiny little eyelashes are red! Sabine was rescued from a dog-hoarding situation, and she does very well with other dogs and cats but can be timid toward humans and new spaces and is very wary of men. She bonds quickly with her female foster human(s) and is a very loyal little lap dog. She enjoys toys and can happily entertain herself or play fetch with you. She will definitely make you laugh with her playful antics! Sabine would prefer a fenced yard, as she enjoys sniffing around and conducting business. She's good on walks and shows no leash aggression toward other dogs. At home she prefers to be with you but it also comfortable sleeping in a dog bed nearby. She is a fantastic cuddler and will gladly join you for lap snuggles and snoozes. Sabine shows no separation anxiety and does fine left at home alone and does well with housetraining. Sabine would be the perfect fit for a calm home with a single woman or female-only household, especially if you work remotely or are retired. Sabine recently had a dental and spay, and is ready to find her forever home!
