Dachshund and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

*****Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time***********

We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.


Meet Onyx, a sweet little 7 year old Chi Dachshund mix weighing around 20lbs. This charming girl has a calm, gentle spirit and a personality that will make you smile every day. Onyx is spayed, vaccinated, and up to date on all her preventatives, so she’s ready to find the loving home she deserves.

Onyx likely hasn’t had the easiest start in life. She was rescued from the euthanasia list at an overcrowded shelter in Houston, and since then she’s been showing everyone just how special she is. She’s currently being fostered in San Antonio, but can transport out of state to the right approved adopter.

Because she’s an older gal with a bit of arthritis, Onyx enjoys a slower pace. She would do best in a semi active to low activity household where she can enjoy short walks and plenty of relaxing time. She does love a good walk and will happily trot along until she gets a little winded, then she’s ready to settle in for neck scratches, belly rubs, and a cozy nap.

Despite her mellow nature, Onyx still has a playful side. She’s a big fan of toys and especially loves destroying sticks and balls in the yard. She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys running around with them, though she can get a little excited on leash when greeting new dog friends. She hasn’t been around cats yet, but she has done well with respectful kids ages 7–12, and would do best with older, dog-savvy children.

Onyx is a very easygoing girl who is both smart and quietly funny in her little old lady ways. She’s house broken, sleeps in her crate at night by choice, and can be crated up to 10 hours if needed. She doesn’t resource guard, shows no food aggression, and can even be trusted to free roam the house without being destructive.

One of Onyx’s cutest quirks is how she flops down spread eagle on the floor or out in the yard and rubs her belly in happy little circles. She loves being close to her people but prefers to sit beside you rather than on top of you. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who simply wants to be near you and loved, Onyx might just be your perfect match.
