Vernon

Young Vernon, an adorable dachsund chihuahua mix, is about 6 months, a total sweetheart and full of energy.

He’s smart and eager to learn, and loves getting belly rubs and pets.

He is friendly to strangers and just fine with being picked up and cuddled or playing in the yard or indoors.

His ears are even cuter in person, if you can believe it.

This little guy would be an excellent pet for anyone who loves a small dog with a BIG personality.

We estimate his full grown weight at about 12 lbs, he is currently 7 lbs.

Vernon found himself at a shelter in Central California, possibly hit by a car, and was determined by vets to require crate rest, and he is just about completely healed.

He is in an amazing foster and doing well - happy and of course dashingly handsome - as he is told every day.

He is living with a cat and is doing well with that relationship! He is very treat motivated so very eager to please and train.

Vernon is a sweetie, and his ideal home will be one where his people are familiar with young dogs and have the patience and time to help him on his journey to being a wonderful respectful adult dog.

He is working on house training and he is scheduled for neuter the last week of December.

Vernon LOVES other dogs all sizes, and would do very well in a home with another playful dog, or as the only dog who can get lots of interaction with his people.

He gets very very excited when he sees something that looks like a lot of fun (i.e.

another dog, a friendly person, fun fun fun!!!).

He is ready to find his perfect forever home.

Please note that we are currently set up to adopt within the Los Angeles county area.
