About Dax

Dax is a tiny little pup, just 8 weeks old, and he's searching for a loving family to call his own. As a Chihuahua mix, he brings plenty of energy and curiosity to the table. Currently in a shelter in Puerto Rico, he is ready to find a foster or forever home in the DC area. Dax gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children, provided he receives the proper training and socialization he needs at this young age. Like all puppies, Dax requires multiple potty breaks and exercise throughout the day. Adopters with an 8-hour work schedule should be prepared to accommodate his needs, perhaps by providing regular walks or visits to dog parks to help him learn and socialize. As he matures, attending obedience school will help him grow into a well-rounded dog. Dax promises love and loyalty to that special family willing to guide him on his adventures.
