Dachshund and Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Hi, I'm Linus the Kid, a 13 pound Maltese/Dachshund mix with an impressive resume in being adorable. I am about 11 months old, which means I have mastered the art of playtime, perfected the cuddle curl, and still bring that fun puppy energy to every day.

I recently came to CAMO Rescue after my family had some major life changes and illness that made it hard for them to keep me. I was very loved, and now I am ready to share all that love with someone new.

I am still settling in, but so far I have been told I am a very sweet boy. I hear I get along well with other dogs and even cats, which makes me quite the social gentleman. My favorite hobby is cuddling. If there is a lap nearby, I consider it my personal invitation. If there is no lap, I am happy to help you create one.

I am the perfect size for just about everything, small enough to carry, big enough to keep your heart full. Whether we are going for a walk or settling in for a cozy night, I promise to be right by your side, probably leaning into you for extra pets.

If you are looking for a loyal little shadow who will make you smile every day and take his cuddle duties very seriously, I think we should meet. My name is Linus, and I am ready to be your favorite hello.

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.

The Maltese is a small toy breed known for its glamorous white coat, which is long, silky, and virtually hypoallergenic. They are gentle, affectionate companion dogs that thrive on human companionship and make wonderful family pets. Maltese dogs are playful, intelligent, and alert, with a confident demeanor despite their small size. They require regular grooming to maintain their luxurious coat and are suitable for apartment living due to their size and adaptability.
