Leo - Dachshund and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Leo is a 1-year-old chiweenie who weighs around 10 lbs, and yes, he really is as cute as he looks. He's a smart little guy who learns quickly, is already house-trained, and has quite a few commands under his belt, including "sit" and "come." He pays attention to his person and seems to genuinely enjoy figuring out what you're asking of him.

He's especially sweet on walks. Leo likes to check in, looking back and waiting if you fall a few steps behind, as if he wants to make sure you're still coming with him. He's also a true gentleman when meeting other dogs, with lovely manners and an easygoing approach that makes introductions feel simple.

Leo is still very much a lap dog at heart. He loves curling up close and soaking up affection, and at only 10 lbs, he's perfectly sized for it.
