About Stanlee

Stanlee is a tiny force of nature at about four months old, weighing roughly 5.5 pounds. This Chihuahua and Dachshund mix has a big personality packed into a small frame, and puppy energy to spare. He spends his days play-wrestling with foster siblings (big and small), zooming around the house, and chewing on anything toy-shaped he can get his paws on. Stanlee's curiosity means he’s always the first to explore a new corner, and when playtime quiets down, he’s quick to find a comfortable lap for some snuggle time. He is crate trained and already knows how to use a doggie door, but he’s not quite fully potty trained yet. Stanlee gets along well with other dogs and is great with children, making him a good fit for a family with active kids or playful pups. He hasn’t met cats yet, so that dynamic is still unknown. He’s up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and will be neutered before adoption. Stanlee is currently in East Wenatchee, WA, and transport is available for approved adopters in the Pacific Northwest.
