A5070173 Sprite | Chihuahua/Dachshund
Channel: United Hope for Animals
Date: 2017-05-28

A5070173 Sprite is a tail-wagging  sweetheart of a 7-year-old tan-and-white female Chihuahua and Dachshund mix (aka Chiweenie) who entered the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on May 23rd as a stray from West Covina. Weighing 19 lbs, Sprite was distressed when we first met her about a month ago, when she’d just arrived at the shelter. But she has grown more confident now and is exhibiting what we were hoping for: a willingness to interact, a waggily tail, and a more relaxed stance. She does okay on leash, has a medium energy, and is absolutely darling to look at, with pretty much the largest ears around (Doxie ears set like a Chi’s). She also has a long body, stubby legs, bright amber eyes, and a head and face that are a real Chi-Doxie combo. She shows no aggression toward other dogs, and she interacts with different people after a second of hesitation. We’re pleased to see her ease and curiosity showing now, and we think she’ll make a delightful indoor pet and companion for any individual or family who’ll make sure she knows she’s loved and secure.

It is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization working to end homelessness among companion animals by supporting shelter adoptions and spay/neuter programs. Through our Shelter Support Program, our volunteers photograph and video shelter pets to increase their chances of adoption significantly. Our volunteer Adoption Coordinators help facilitate adoptions of shelter pets.
