My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Puppies less than 16 weeks old cannot be placed in apartment complexes as they cannot go out in communal areas until about 10 days after their last vaccine at 16 weeks.

Adoption Area: East Tennessee

Piccolo needs:
-Someone home during the day, since I am still so young and need work on housetraining
-A sure-footed active home because puppies get underfoot
-Adult home or one with children over 5 years old
-No apartments/condos

Hi, my name is Piccolo. I’m a neutered male Chihuahua/possible Beagle or Dachshund mix. I am 10½ weeks old (born 11/19/23) and weigh 6.5-7 lbs. I am super friendly and as cute as can be with my tri-color markings and sweet little underbite! I’m the tallest of my litter of three (my mom weighs 13 pounds) and I love to run and play inside and am quite rambunctious! I am a smart little guy and very curious about everything. I also like to cuddle and sleep on your lap. I sleep well in an indoor expen with my sister and brother at night. I ride well in a crate in the car. I love playing with the very tolerant kitty cat in my house too!

I go potty outside every time you take me out but because I’m a puppy, I pee every few minutes when I’m awake and running around. I mostly pee and poo on a pee pad in the house, but being a puppy, I’m completely unreliable with it and will need someone home to continue my potty training. I’m a puppy so I need to be watched or placed in an indoor expen or crate when left alone, since like all puppies, I’ll chew on everything I can put my face on and require consistent gentle correction. Puppies require a lot of time, patience, training and a willingness to clean up lots of messes. I have been neutered and microchipped, and am current on age-appropriate vaccines as well as flea and heartworm preventives. My adoption fee is $175.
