Meet Nip, the gentle observer. He’s a one-year-old chiweenie—a mix of Chihuahua and Dachshund—with a soft heart and big, soulful eyes. Nip can be shy when faced with new situations, often hanging back until he feels the space is safe. When he settles in, his playful and sweet personality emerges in full. He’s a fan of attention and affection, always happy to snuggle or run around with other small dogs, and he gets along well with cats too. Mealtimes get him most excited, unsurprising since he arrived at the rescue thin—he’s now food-motivated but not food aggressive, and might sneak a bite from a friend's bowl if the opportunity arises. Nip's best life will be with patient people who give him space and encouragement to build confidence. He’s ready to enjoy a safe, loving home and all the good days ahead. What are you waiting for?
