About Andy

Meet Andy, an adorable blend of Chihuahua and Dachshund. This affectionate boy quickly warms up to new friends. When I picked him up from transport, he immediately climbed into my lap, eager for some pets and cuddles. He’s loving and enjoys attention, craving those moments with people. While he’s still mastering basic commands like sit and paw, Andy is treat-motivated, so he’s sure to learn quickly with some patience. He gets along with other dogs but prefers a more independent routine, often doing his own thing. However, he loves engaging in a good game of tug-of-war when the mood strikes. Andy is good around kids and would make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a loyal, loving dog. If you're interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, reach out today to meet him. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
