About Sly

Sly is a charming 3.5-month-old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix weighing around 8 lbs. While we can't be completely sure of his breed, we anticipate he’ll grow to be about 15-20 lbs. Sly came to us from a hoarding situation in Texas, where over 40 dogs were living in one home. Together with his mom and siblings, he was rescued and has now made his way to Colorado, where he's looking for his forever family. Initially a bit shy, Sly's sweetness shines through quickly. He loves being loved and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and people too. His socialization is improving each day, and he gains confidence with every interaction. Sly would thrive in a home with another dog or with someone who has ample time to nurture a puppy. He’s the ideal size for daily walks and outdoor adventures or for curling up as a lap dog at home. If you’re ready to bring this delightful little guy into your life, complete the adoption application today!
