Chiweenie puppies and dogs in Lafayette, California

Meet Wardy! ? This stunning boy has a story of resilience and hope. Wardy came to us from a local shelter, where he was heartbreakingly placed on the euthanasia list for being "fearful." However, Wardy has proven that labels can be deceiving—he’s far from fearful! In fact, he’s a social butterfly who adores meeting new people and quickly charms everyone with his sweet personality. Wardy is an outdoor enthusiast and absolutely loves going for walks, where he eagerly explores his surroundings. He’s also a perfect travel companion, riding calmly and happily in the car. When it comes to canine friendships, Wardy is a superstar! He’s incredibly dog-friendly and would make a wonderful second dog, whether your current pup is big or small. With his striking red brindle coat and unique long, low, and stocky build, Wardy is truly one of a kind. At just 14 pounds, he’s a compact little package of love and energy. At approximately 3 years old, Wardy is the perfect age—past the puppy phase but full of youthful enthusiasm. Wardy would thrive in an active home that can keep up with his zest for life. Despite his tough start, he’s embracing his second chance with enthusiasm. He’s currently working on house training and making great progress, thanks to his eagerness to please and food-motivated nature. We don’t know why Wardy ended up in the shelter, but what matters most is that he’s left that chapter behind. He’s ready to start a new life with a family who will love and commit to him forever.

Meet Tia! This 4-year-old, 30-pound girl is as unique as she is charming, with a beautiful merle coat and a personality that will warm your heart. Tia is a sunshine-lover who delights in quiet, peaceful walks around the neighborhood and is happiest when she has a cozy spot to relax by your side. Tia’s initial shyness means she takes a little time to trust new people, but once she does, her love and loyalty know no bounds. Although a bit unsure on the leash at first, Tia is making steady progress with each walk, thanks to her dedicated foster family. She’s fully house-trained, and has a funny, endearing personality that will keep you smiling. In a prior home, she even lived with a dog-savvy cat. Tia would thrive with a patient, understanding adopter who can give her time to settle in and gain confidence. Ideally, she'd love a home with a confident and mellow, male dog friend who can show her the ropes. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who enjoys quiet days at home and just needs a little extra time to open up, Tia might be your perfect match!

Mochi is a sweet, 27lb and moderate energy “chiweeniebull” looking for his furever family. He was adopted from a local rescue as a family surrender (where he was originally a member of a 4 dog and 4 human household). He has been living in a single person (no other dogs) household and his adjustment has been a challenge without a pack family and mild SA, so he would thrive in a bigger family with other furry friends (esp an older sibling). He is socialized with dogs smaller and bigger than him and does well with dog intros at the park, doggy day care and with neighbors’ dogs. Day to day, Mochi loves hanging on the couch, figuring out an enrichment or food puzzle, playing with a squeaky toy or being near his human for pets and cuddles. Mochi knows basic commands, goes for morning and evening walks (30-40 mins each) and is a solid loose leash walker, highly food motivated and housetrained (he sleeps in his crate at night). Will also include: crate, harness, wet/dry food & fave toys!

Meet Adorable Dasher, a charming Red Chiweenie mix who is ready to find his forever home! He is 11 months old and weighing in at 17 pounds, this little guy has a delightful dachshund face paired with long legs that make him unique. Dasher’s journey started in an orchard, where a kind-hearted person rescued him. When he arrived, he was very thin and struggling, having survived on olives. Thankfully, with a little TLC, he is now thriving! Handsome Dasher has quickly settled into life at the sanctuary, where he enjoys the comforts of a warm bed and plenty of love. He’s friendly with other dogs and loves to play, making him a great companion for any pet lover. He has learned to navigate the doggie door but will need some help with house training. Additionally, he could use some more leash training to help him stroll confidently on walks. Dasher is neutered and is currently vaccinated and microchipped, making him ready for adoption. If you’re looking to add an affectionate and playful friend to your family, Dasher is eager to make your house his new home. Don’t miss the chance to meet this sweet boy he is sure to bring joy and love your family—he’s waiting for someone like you!

She loves sunbathing, rolling in the grass, car rides, and, of course, snuggling up with her people. Nelly is house-trained, food-motivated, and eager to please. She’s ready for a family or person to call her very own—a home where she can finally relax and enjoy being pampered.

She’s a quirky, funny little girl who’s sure to steal your heart with her sweet, soulful eyes and unique personality. Millie came to us from a tough situation in the Central Valley, but she’s now safe and slowly learning to trust the world around her.

She’s looking for a patient, understanding home that will give her the space and support she needs to blossom. Millie is smart, eager to please, and gaining confidence every day. With continued encouragement, she’s going to thrive and become an amazing companion. Millie currently lives with over a dozen dogs of all sizes and gets along wonderfully with them. She’s also cat-friendly and would do well with older, respectful children. While she’s still working on house and crate training, she’s making great progress and just needs someone committed to helping her along the way. Her ideal home would have a yard for her to explore and another friendly dog to be her buddy and role model. Millie is fully grown and ready to find her forever family—a family who will cherish her, celebrate her progress, and give her the loving home she’s always deserved.

Meet Potato Meet Potato! Potato is an adorable 5-month-old Dachshund mix with the cutest little face and a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. He came to us from the Central Valley after being found in rough shape—underweight and starving, he was brought into a human homeless shelter, desperately in need of help. Thankfully, those tough days are behind him, and now he’s thriving in the Bay Area, ready to find his forever family. Potato currently weighs 6 pounds and will likely max out around 12 pounds full-grown. He has a stunning copper-colored coat, a long, low build typical of a Dachshund, and an irresistibly wiggly personality. Despite his rough start, he’s a happy little pup learning to trust people and experience the joys of being a dog. Once he feels safe and loved, Potato is incredibly affectionate and cuddly—he’ll happily snuggle up with his favorite humans. Potato is dog- and cat-friendly, and he’d do great in a home with respectful children. He’s still learning the ropes of house and crate training but is eager to please and making progress every day. Because he’s still discovering how to “dog,” he’d thrive in a home with another confident pup to show him the ropes. If that’s not possible, his ideal family will be committed to providing plenty of training, socialization, and exercise to help him continue growing into the best version of himself. Potato’s sweet, resilient spirit is ready to blossom in the right home. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who’ll melt your heart with snuggles and tail wags, Potato is waiting to meet you!
