About Waukesha

Waukesha is an adorable young Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, born in February, who seeks a gentle and loving home where she can feel secure. She may be timid initially due to her past, but once she learns to trust, she loves to be by your side, eager to fit in and belong. Her favorite comfort is a cozy, warm bed or a cuddly pile of blankets. This little one gets along wonderfully with dogs of all shapes and sizes and enjoys human companionship, though her timid nature means she may shine brightest in a home with older children who understand her gentle approach. We recommend slow and proper introductions if cats are present. Waukesha is adjusting well in her foster home and will benefit from patient guidance as she learns her potty routine and gets comfortable with leash training. She's spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Could this sweet, snuggly girl be the perfect addition to your family? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
