Meet Oli!

Oli is a 15-week-old puppy with a big personality packed into a little body! Currently weighing about 12 pounds, this adorable pup is believed to be a Chiweenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) and will likely grow to be small to medium-sized when fully grown.

Like any young puppy, Oli is the perfect mix of playful energy and sweet snuggles. He absolutely loves people and is happiest when he's part of the action with his humans. After a fun play session, he's just as happy curling up for some cuddle time.

Oli's favorite things include:



Running after toys and showing off his zoomies


Chewing on toys and bones


Exploring and playing outside


Spending time with his people



Because he loves to run and play, a fenced-in yard is required so he can safely burn off his puppy energy. Oli also really enjoys being around other dogs. While he doesn't require another dog in the home, he would benefit from regular opportunities to play and socialize with other dogs.

Oli is already making great progress with his puppy skills! He's walking well on a leash, doing great with potty training, and currently working on crate training. Since he's still learning, he would do best in a home where someone is around frequently—especially at first—to help him continue building positive crate habits.

Because Oli tends to bark when left alone, an apartment or shared-wall living situation would not be ideal for him right now.

He's a friendly, social little guy who gets along well with everyone he meets. He currently lives with cats and is very respectful of their boundaries. He would likely do great with kids too—just keep in mind he's still a puppy and can be a bit mouthy while he's learning that human fingers are not chew toys! (He's working on it! )

Oli's ideal home:



A fenced yard for playtime and zoomies


Someone home often, especially while he continues crate training


Opportunities to play with other dogs


A family ready for all the fun, learning, and love that comes with a puppy



If you're looking for a sweet, playful companion who will keep you smiling and fill your home with love, Oli might be your perfect match!

Oli has grade 1 luxating patellas, but he doesn't let that slow him down. Luxating patellas are graded 1-4 with 1 being the least severe. Dogs with grade 1 typically have no issues and usually do not need any intervention.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.
