Dachshund and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Penny!!

This sweet girl was found wandering the streets alone. After several weeks it was clear her family wasn't coming for her. Thankfully, a wonderful family said yes to fostering, so we were able to bring her into rescue right before her deadline.

First off, Penny is absolutely adorable. At just 2 years old and 15 pounds, this Chiweenie mix is the perfect size for adventures, cuddles, and everything in between. She has a fun, active personality and loves being part of the action. Whether she's playing with her dog friends, going for walks, or hanging out with her people, Penny is always ready for a good time.

Penny is very friendly with other dogs and would love a canine companion in her forever home, though she'd also be happy soaking up all the attention herself. She has a happy, affectionate nature and enjoys making new friends wherever she goes.

She is doing great with potty training and continues to make wonderful progress. Penny rides well in the car, enjoys walks, and would love a family that includes her in everyday activities and adventures. After a day of fun, she's more than happy to curl up beside you for some well earned snuggles.

Penny is currently being fostered in Houston, Texas, but she is available for adoption in many locations across the country. Her adoption fee is $600, which includes the cost of transport. If you are seeing this post it means we have a transport location close to you.

*We review applications in the order they are received; however, our priority is placing each dog in the home that we feel is the best match for them. We are a small, volunteer-run rescue, and since Penny is such a wonderful pup, it may take us some time to carefully review all of her applications. Thank you for your patience and understanding!*
