Elio

My story

Meet sweet boy Elio! He was born 4/4/23 and is a Chiweenie (Chihuahua Dachshund mix).He is crate trained and sleeps beside his foster parents' bed at night. He is potty trained but will use a potty pad as a back up. Elio is very timid and can pee a bit when scared - he's seeking a home where he can build is confidence. Elio is a vocal boy who can be expressive when he gets excited. Elio rides in a carrier in a car and does just fine. He gets along great with other dogs and has not been around cats. His best fit home would be one with a securely fenced yard and a family that doesn’t leave him alone for long periods of time. Elio can be nippy if a person puts their face right up into there’s so if there are kids in the home, older ones are preferred who are respectful and gentle with a small dog like Elio (he weighs about 10-12 pounds). Elio would do great with a canine sibling of similar size and energy level however, he'd also thrive as an only dog being his person or family's #1. Applications: www.mikeyschance.com
