Chip - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Jacksonville, Florida

Hi, I'm Chip — and I like my food, my toys, and my people to know that I'm in charge, thank you very much. I'm spicy, I'm curious, and I've got alpha-female energy packed into a mini dachshund body. I love playing with other dogs, chasing down squeaky toys, and hanging out with kids who can keep up with me. I'm still a baby figuring out the world, but I already know exactly what I want — usually it's whatever's most fun in the room.

My Ideal Home
Good with dogs, cats, kids of all ages, and everyone in between. Because I'm a confident, spirited little diva, I do best with a family who won't be pushed around by a puppy who thinks she runs the house — structure and consistency will help me grow into my best self.

A Few Important Things to Know

House training: Not yet started — I'm a young puppy and will need a family ready to start from scratch.

What I Bring to the Table
I'm bold, playful, and I already know how to charm a room. I'm be ready to bring my spicy little personality into a home that can match my energy and let me be the main character I already believe I am.
