Dachshund and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

UPDATE: Oreo2 has found himself back in Rescue after 13 years, yes you read right, 13 years. The adopter went to a specialty hospital and walked in and wanted him put to sleep as he was no longer wanted. When the vet staff saw how great he looked, they scanned his microchip and it came back to CTDR and now Oreo just wants to find a forever homeaA

Hi, I’m Oreo. My name comes from my dapple coat which is the color of different kinds of chocolate. Look closely at my pictures and you will see the bottom of my left eye is light blue. I like to give a few smooches now and then and my foster parents say I have a really sweet personality. I’m not a year old yet so I have lots of puppy energy. I love to play fetch, chew on my toys, sticks and bark mulch and don’t chew up other stuff in the house. Sometimes I can get one of my foster sisters to play with me. If I found a forever home with another young dog who likes to play that would be so awesome. We have a doggie door and I like to go outside with my sisters and check things out. I've learned to potty outside while I've been here and no longer potty in the house. I sleep in the big bed most of the time curled up at the foot. If I get a little too active at night I go in my crate and I'm ok with that. I’m really attentive to sounds and would make a good watchdog. I’m quiet while my foster parents eat their meals. I love to hang out on or near the couch at night when my people watch TV. I also really love going for walks with my foster sisters. I know I’ll make a great companion for some family – is that you?
