Picture
Shelby is a one year old Chiweenie (Dachshund + Chihuahua mix). She was rescued from a high kill shelter in South Carolina where she lived outside with other dogs and did not have human contact. Due to that fact, Shelby is very timid and scared of a lot of things. She has come a long way in the months she has been in her foster home but would need a very special home that could continue to make her feel comfortable in her environment. Shelby loves other dogs and even cats. She loves to play with her other fursiblings – both cats and dogs!! Once Shelby warms up to a family she will love you but it will take time and patience. Shelby will do best in a low key home without lots of people in and out. Although if people do visit she is friendly. But Shelby would not do well in a home with young, active children. She MUST go to a home with other dogs – the more, the better!!! Shelby is still trying to learn leash walking but with her being so timid she can only be adopted to a home with a fenced in yard. She deserves to have a home of her. A place that she will grow and learn that everyone loves her and that she doesn’t have to be afraid. 

If you are interested in leaning more about Shelby please view her personal profile or contact her foster Mom Kristi at krimar1@sc.rr.com.

Jewel the Chiweenie

ADOPTED!!!

They named her Jewel, they said, because she has a heart of gold! 

She is a 3 year old Chiweenie, that's a Dachshund and Chihuahua mix.  Though she does look like the Doxie genes won!  She is a tiny little girl at a mere 8 lbs. who loves dogs and likes to chase cats - playfully that is.
Her foster mom must think the world of her because here's what she had to say:

Jewell is a very special little darling, small and gentle at only 8 pounds.  She was left at a shelter because her back was injured. Apparently, discarded like trash, with no thought to her feelings or concern as to what would become of her.    Under these circumstances, there was no way to know how long she has had this injury.  So our veterinarian suggested conservative treatment, rest, steroids, pain meds, and plenty of love.  Jewell is doing better, but would benefit from a home were her people were home much of the day, where she could be offered regularly water therapy, and given time to heal.  She can run and play at this point, though her gait is funny, her desire is great!  Her exercise is still quite limited per her veterinarian.  But she is gaining strength daily.

If you have been looking for a darling, to love you, to be your best friend, and then look no further, Jewell is a sweet bundle of love, waiting to be enfolded into her forever home.  She is fairly house trained, but has difficulty controlling her urine.  When she has to go, she really has to go… She does use the doggie door here when she is able.  If you a patient, kind and caring person, who can give this little sweetheart the life she deserves, please fill out an adoption application today to give her a furever home!

If you are interested in adopting Jewel please visit her personal profile page or email her foster Mom DeeAnn at DeesDawgs@aol.com for more information.

Chiwi the Chiweenie

Chiwi the Chiweenie!  Need I say anymore - just look at these pix.  By the way, a Chiweenie is a Dachshund / Chihuahua mix. If I didn't already have a houseful I'd go get her myself. She's about 3 years old and a whopping 10 lbs, with a pretty red and boar smooth coat. She is completely house broken but since she has not been kenneled in her foster home we're not really sure how she would react to one. She likes dogs and ignores cats and, again, we're not really sure how she feels about young children since she isn't living with any.
Here's what her foster mom wrote about her:

Chiwi is a very sweet Dachshund/Chihuahua mix.  She is very outgoing and never seems to meet a stranger.  She loves to chew on her rawhide twist or cow hoof.  More than anything, Chiwi loves to chase and retrieve a ball, bone, stuffed animal, etc.  She is a very high energy dog, and will literally chase and retrieve an object until my arm is tired.  I threw a tennis ball for her to retrieve for 2 hours, I stopped because I was tired…Chiwi wanted to keep going!

She loves mealtime!  I feed her 3/8 cup of Taste of the Wild High Prairie dry formulation twice daily. I do generously give treats such as Evo’s grain free treats and Charlee Bears.  I also leave cow hooves and Nylabones for Chiwi and her companions to chew on.

Chiwi is very active.  She gets extremely excited when I come home from work each day.  She watches out the window with another foster dog as I approach the door, and I can see that her whole body is moving and her tail is wagging.  Chiwi barks only when she is excited or wants to go outside to potty.  She loves chewing rawhide twists and cow hooves.  She enjoys racing around the backyard sniffing everything and looking for a stick to retrieve.  I try to keep her from jumping on and off the furniture, but she is so fast that it is hard to prevent her from doing that.

Chiwi does well with my cats, Dakota and Paisley.  The cats seem to like hanging out with Chiwi.  Chiwi is a happy, high energy, extroverted dog and deserves the best possible forever home.  She would make a wonderful family addition, especially for a family that can meet the needs of a dog with so much energy. Can you give her a furever home? 

If you are interested in adopting Chiwi please visit her personal profile page or email her foster Mom Cathy at Ladycat014@hotmail.com for more information.

Thad - another tiny Chiweenie

ADOPTION PENDING

Thad is a handsome little Chiweenie who is 7 months old at the time of this post. He is neutered, crate trained, and working on his house breaking - but he's only a puppy! He has a beautiful red and brown smooth coat and is a tiny little guy at just 8 pounds.  He does well in the company of other dogs but has not really been around cats or young children.
Thad's foster mom wrote the following bio about him:
Thad is cute little Chiweenie -  a small sweetie!



We are unsure of his care before the shelter, but he seems to be quiet the snuggler! He is energetic at times and loves to go for a ride! He does ok on a leash, but we are working on this! He is going outside for most of his bathroom needs but has accidents sometimes! He does like to bark and sometimes chases after larger dogs! (small dog syndrome)!! He does pretty well with small dogs! He has not had a problem with one small dog yet! I can’t say how good he is with small kids but the little girl that lives next door (approx. 2yrs old) comes to the fence and pets him through the fence! He sits there and lets her do it! I am working on socializing him but he will need someone to have patience with him on this! He does get jealous of other animals sometimes! He couldn’t stand for me to pet my lab instead of him but I think he will do fine in a house with another dog.. cats really unsure of this because he hasn’t been around any! He loves to go OUTSIDE! I have a fenced yard and he stays out there for a good while sometimes! I will update as soon as I can think of more to write!
If you are interested in adopting Thad please visit his personal profile page or email his foster Mom, Courtney at cpg0002@auburn.edu for more information.
