Please give a warm welcome to tiny Duckie, the petite Chihuahua/Dachshund mix with a big heart and big ears that seem to be listening for words of love. She is a 4-year-old lady who is searching for a safe home and a lap that she can nestle in as long as she wants.Duckie weighs 9 pounds, which means she is a toy sized dog (under 10 pounds). She sports a cream and white coat and a gentle temperament just perfect for slow days full of affection. Duckie is comfortable with other dogs and with children. It is not known if Duckie is comfortable around cats.Duckie is working on her house training and leash manners. Rescue dogs may have accidents as they become accustomed to a new home, family and routines. If crate training is anticipated, Duckie will be comfortable in a small crate so long as it gives her space to lie down, stand up and turn around. Crates should never be used for punishment, should be warm and cozy dens. Good things come in small packages. Duckie is one of the best small things who will bring joy to any family looking for a devoted little companion. She will warm their hearts and in return they will be amply rewarded by keeping Duckie close, safe and beloved.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Duckie is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
