Female Dog, Chihuahua
Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Saucy is a sweet, spunky girl with a loyal heart. She tends to pick her favorite person and happily sticks by their side. She loves affection and has a playful spirit, very much reflecting her young-adult energy. Energy Level? Moderate House trained? Yes Describe how they are on leash? She is well-mannered on leash and generally walks nicely. She may pull a bit when she catches an interesting scent and wants to investigate. She can be somewhat cautious when unfamiliar people approach while she is on leash, becoming a little nervous, but she does not bark or react. Describe how they are with other dogs? Saucy does very well with other dogs. She is not reactive and enjoys meeting new canine friends. She integrated smoothly with our resident dogs from day one and has also done well with our family members’ three dogs. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Saucy would be fine living with a cat. When first rescued, she met a cat and did well, showing no chasing or reactive behavior. She also regularly sees cats while out on walks and remains calm and unbothered. Additionally, she showed no reaction to a parakeet at our family’s home. Commands they know? Sit, working on stay. Knows inside means crate time. What are their favorite things? She loves chew toys and does best with durable options, as plush toys do not stand much of a chance. Tougher toys like Kong products are ideal for her. Her favorite is her Kong ball, and when filled, it keeps her happily occupied and calm for a good amount of time. She also loves going for walks What do they need to work on? She would thrive with continued positive socialization to help build her confidence around new people. She is also learning that resources like water are always available and may need management in multi-dog settings while she works through some competition around shared water bowls. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? She handles alone time well and relaxes comfortably in her crate, usually napping when left for short periods. We have left her crated for up to two hours with no issues. Otherwise, she spends her days happily alongside our resident dogs. Where do they sleep? She sleeps in her crate/pen. What is their ideal home? She would thrive in a calm, loving home with someone who can give her plenty of attention and spoil her with toys and treats. She enjoys nice moderate walks, but a secure backyard to explore and play in would also suit her well, especially since she is great at finding ways to entertain herself. She has done well with kids and other pets. The Adoption fee is $325.
