Chewy is a female silver dapple Dachshund from Lebanon, OH, who came to rescue after her elderly owner passed away. She loves to snuggle—if you give her a lap or a spot in your bed, she’ll settle right in and soak up your company. Chewy spent much of her life with one person and hasn’t seen much of the bigger world, so nearly everything—other dogs, meeting men, experiencing daily life outside her old home—is still fresh and a little bit surprising to her. She’s learning what it means to be a dog, picking up cues from those around her and slowly building confidence, step by step. She weighs about 14.4 pounds, with a short coat that’s easy to maintain. Her birthday is June 3rd, making her a Gemini—curious and eager to soak up new experiences, once she feels safe. Chewy gets along with both dogs and cats, and she’s house trained. Ready to offer calm companionship and gentle affection, she would do best with someone patient and kind, ready to help her continue adjusting to the world. Ready to meet your new best friend?
