Woody - Pit Bull Terrier and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Port Washington, New York

Meet Woody!

At 3 years old and 39 pounds, Woody is what happens when someone takes a Pit Bull and stretches him just a little too far. Long body, short legs, and a trot that looks like it was designed by a cartoonist, Woody is guaranteed to make people smile wherever he goes.

We can't say for sure what's in his DNA, but we have our suspicions. Dachshund? Corgi? Stretch limousine? Whatever the recipe was, the result is absolutely adorable.

Woody cruises around on his tiny back legs like a stuffed animal that somehow came to life. His unique look gets all the attention, but it's his personality that really steals the show. He's a fun, happy guy who loves making new friends and enjoys spending time with other dogs.

Woody is the perfect combination of goofy and lovable. He's always ready for an adventure, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply showing off his one of a kind silhouette as he trots by.

If you've been searching for a dog with personality, charm, and proportions that defy explanation, Woody is waiting to meet you.
