About Weasel

Meet Weasel, a playful Chihuahua mix in need of a forever home in the Washington, DC area. At just 11 months old, this pint-sized male cutie weighs around 6 lbs and is all about fun and cuddles. Weasel gets along well with other dogs, making him a great companion for those who already have furry friends. While we haven't seen him around cats or kids yet, we're happy to discuss how to help with integration. Weasel is looking for a lap to snuggle in, regular walks, and chances to unleash his energy with other pups. Currently, he is in a South Carolina shelter but is ready to find his foster or adoptive family. Although Lucky Dog can't guarantee that he’s housebroken, he is progressing with crate training. If you're ready to open your home to this adorable young dog, reach out to Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and see how you can make a difference in Weasel's life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
