Dippy is nearly 5 years old and a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. He was adopted from ODAS but surrendered by his owner 4 years later (no fault of his own) with his companion, Chippy Dip (see other profile). Dippy is partial to women, is a bit skittish/scared of men, and does not care for children. Dippy is scared and doesn't understand why he's here with Chippy Dip. He's playful, yet stubborn, and loves toys and is food motivated! He's good with cats, tolerates Chippy Dip, but otherwise would do best if he's the only dog in the home. Dippy is afraid of loud noises (vacuum, thunder, and these loud barking dogs at the shelter) and can be skittish at first until he gets to know you. We won't require Dippy and Chippy Dip go to the same home--but they'd probably rather have it that way... Dippy can become anxious when left alone and would prefer an adult only home where their person/people were home most of the time.
