Lime is a 7-year-old Chihuahua mix—possibly with a little Dachshund sprinkled in—who came to us with his siblings after their owner was no longer able to care for them. Lime is the oldest of the group, and while we don’t know for sure, he may even be the father of the others. We were told Chihuahua, but based on appearances we suspect Chihuahua/Dachshund; however, we can’t make any promises on breed.
This sweet, middle-aged gentleman still has plenty of love to give, just without all the wild puppy energy. He enjoys going for walks, but he also truly appreciates the quieter moments—snuggling on the couch, keeping your lap warm, and simply enjoying your company. He’s the perfect companion for someone looking for a calmer, affectionate friend.
Lime has received his vaccines, is flea & tick treated, tested negative for Heartworm, Lyme, Anaplasma, and Ehrlichia, and is currently on heartworm prevention. He will be neutered and microchipped prior to adoption.
Lime has lived with other dogs, though they were all small and related to him, so proper introductions will be important with new canine friends. We’re unsure how he feels about cats. He did not previously live with children, so if there are kids in the home, we ask that they come meet him. Lime has lived in a home before and is likely at least somewhat house-trained.
If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who loves both walks and couch time, Lime may be your perfect match. 💛🐾
Lime's adoption fee is $250.
