Snickers - Terrier and Miniature Dachshund Dog Available for Adoption in San Diego, California

Now Accepting Pre-Approval Adoption Applications!
Meet the Candy Litter!

Get your sweet tooth ready, because the absolute sweetest bunch of puppies has officially arrived! Born on April 18, 2026, these little confectionery cuties are growing fast, learning their puppy manners, and looking for their forever families.

Their Story
Mom and her babies were rescued from a vacant lot near a school in Mexico. Thanks to our incredible rescue partners, this brave mama and her sweet pups were brought to safety and are now thriving. Mom is a wonderful, scruffy gal who appears to be a Terrier or Wire-Haired Dachshund mix (with a definite resemblance to a Westie!).

Because of Mom's size, we expect these pups to be small-to-medium-sized dogs when fully grown, likely weighing in at a perfect 15-20 pounds.

What the Candy Litter is Looking For:
Puppy Caterers: Since they are still so young, they need families dedicated to standard puppy training-housebreaking, crate training, and social skills are all on the menu!

Lots of Love: They are at the perfect age to bond deeply with their new humans.

A Lifetime Commitment: They might be small, but they have huge hearts and are looking for a forever home that will love them through thick and thin.

Adoption Details:
The puppies are currently in the process of getting their age-appropriate vaccines and checkups, but we are now accepting pre-approval applications!

Don't miss out on adding some sweetness to your life. Fill out your application today to get pre-approved to bring home your favorite piece of the Candy Litter!
