About Grizzy

Meet Grizzy! This adorable pup, at around 10 months old, weighs just 10 pounds and has the charming appearance of a long-haired Chihuahua mixed with a Dachshund. She's often described as a Chiweenie and can capture your heart instantly. Grizzy previously faced a tough situation, surviving alone on the streets of Houston until a larger animal attacked her. Thanks to a caring citizen, she was rescued and brought to an animal shelter. We took her straight to the vet, and although she had some bite wounds, she healed quickly and now is fully spayed, vaccinated, and ready for her forever home. This playful little girl thrives in the company of her foster siblings and would flourish in a household with another small dog. She’s affectionate and loves to cuddle, making her the perfect companion for someone who enjoys belly rubs and tasty treats. Grizzy is good with older children and is house trained. If you’re looking for a sweet and spirited addition to your family, Grizzy could be the one for you. Her joyful nature and love for human companionship are sure to brighten your days. Adoption is possible from out of state as well! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
