About Parton

Parton is a tiny 8-10 week old pup searching for a loving forever home. Coming from a high-kill shelter in Houston, Texas, he’s ready to leave behind the overwhelming shelter life. Parton, along with his momma Dolly and brother Carl, has been vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. He’s begun potty training but will need a refresher as he adjusts to a new home. As a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, he fits in your hand and is expected to stay small, around 10-12 lbs when fully grown. Parton enjoys the company of other dogs and cats but would do best in a quieter environment, ideally without young children, due to his nervousness in new situations. If you think you can give Parton the loving home he deserves, reach out to learn more about the adoption process!
