🐾 Meet Adoptable Dachshund Chino – A Smart, Playful Boy Looking for His Perfect Match! 🐾

Age: 1 Year
Weight: 17 lbs.

Chino is a handsome young Dachshund with a playful spirit and a heart full of love. He thrives on routine, enjoys learning new things, and is highly food motivated, making him a great candidate for continued training. Whether he’s playing fetch, lounging beside the glass sliders watching the world go by, or cuddling up with his favorite person, Chino is happiest when he’s close to those he trusts.

Because Chino is naturally timid and easily frightened, he is looking for a patient, understanding family that will give him the time he needs to build confidence. Once he feels safe, his affectionate, loyal personality truly shines.
