Luigi - Dachshund and Jack Russell Terrier Dog for Adoption in Estero, Florida

Luigi is about 2 years old, 13lbs, and we believe he is a Jack Russell and Dachshund mix. He is very friendly with people but we are still testing him with other animals.

He was found as a stray so he's learning how to walk on a leash and normal things like that. He is very smart and food motivated so training has been easy!

He is definitely a lap dog and just a little love bug.

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 Jack Russell Terrier is a lively and intelligent small breed known for its boundless energy and strong hunting instincts. With a distinctive white coat and often sporting tan or black markings, these dogs are full of personality and require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Jack Russell Terriers are fiercely loyal and make excellent companions for active owners willing to provide the mental and physical challenges this energetic breed needs to stay happy and healthy.
