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

Age: 1 Year
Weight: 15 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.
