Chili D69880 - Dachshund and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Chili and I am from Alabama!

Chili has been a joy to foster! She is a happy-go-lucky little girl that loves toys, bones, sticks and playing with our resident dog. She has only had one accident in the house, but she is on a regular schedule. Chili is not quite ready for walks but she loves to hang out in the back yard, lay in the sun as well as sit in the chairs and nap. She is still a little dog in a big world so some loud noises (and big dog barks) send her for cover. Chili is kenneled for about 5 hours max per day and over night. She is just OK with it but does settle down. She sleeps great in her little beds and likes having a home base. She is definitely still a puppy with all the puppy traits but she has the makings of a great companion!
