About Benelli

Meet Benelli, a delightful female Chihuahua-Dachshund mix looking for her forever home. At 6 years old, she’s very sweet, social, and friendly, and she gets along well with both cats and dogs. This little gem must live indoors, as she has spent too long outside following her previous owner's move. Benelli knows several commands like "sit" and "shake" and enjoys being close to her people, snuggling up on laps and sharing cuddles. Though she’s generally low to medium energy, she can be a bit sensitive to loud noises like fireworks, often seeking refuge in a quiet spot when frightened. Her adorable howls are more charming than loud. She is spayed and current on vaccinations, making her a healthy companion. This sweet girl would thrive in a home where she’s treated as a beloved family member. A home without young children is preferred, as she can be shy around very active households.
