DOB 5/17/24, weight 11 lb.
Hey there, everyone! I’m Rubi, a very sweet, calm, and adorable red Chihuahua/ mini Dachshund mix, which is also known as a Chiweenie. I have the upright “bat” ears of a Chi and the Doxie’s elongated torso and short legs, and who knows where my stubby tail came from! I’m an affectionate, lovey-dovey gal who likes nothing better than to be nestled in my foster mom’s lap. I get along great with the resident cats and small dogs in my foster home.
A Good Samaritan found my friend mini-poodle Sophie and me as friendly but lost or abandoned pets who were wandering along Braes Bayou. We were both in poor condition, which meant that we’d been struggling for some time to fend for ourselves as strays. Thank heavens we looked after each other, but we were both more than grateful when we were rescued and brought to the safe haven of our foster home. Our tongues smacked as we licked the hardscrabble life good-bye!! And it didn’t take us long to get back to our pre-stray buff condition so that now Sophie and I romp and play with carefree abandon!
Despite my rough experience, I’m resilient! I’m already house-trained and crate-trained, and I’m learning to walk on a leash. Now I’m ready to get firmly ensconced in everyone’s lap in order to share my sweet disposition and calm companionship with my forever family. Could it be you who will surround me with all the love I so deeply deserve? If so, arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave tiny paw prints all over your heart as well as bring a smile to your face. By the way, since Sophie and I have already endured so much trauma together, Foster Mom is insisting that we be adopted together.
