Trudi Chihuahua & Dachshund Mix Cincinnati, OH

Trudi is believed to be a Chihuahua/Dachshund between 2 and 4 years old who joined HART after being part of a 150+ dog hoarding situation in Tennessee. She came to us very scared, shy and with some skin issues- all very common for dogs from hoarding situations. She has had vet care with treatment for her issues, spay appointment in early August planned. She is residing in a crate/ pen indoors and uses pee pads as needed. Goes outdoors on schedule to relieve herself. She loves attention and would do best with a family who is not absent for long periods.

Trudi is being fostered with another dog from her situation, (Pepper) she plays and sleeps with that same size pup but would also do best in a home with patient owners willing to take things slow and give her the time she will need to warm up and show her true personality. She would benefit from persons familiar with Chihuahua characteristics and temperament, with one-to-one attention. This pup has been through a lot in her 2+ years. She has observed a neighbor’s cat from her outdoor pen and did not react. She has become familiar with watching Angus cattle in the pasture just beyond her outdoor pen. Barks at newcomers with tail wagging, greets foster mom with finger and toe licking, leaping happily with tail wagging. She would require a securely fenced outdoor area.
