Mishka, chihuahua and dachshund mix

Mishka is a lovable female chihuahua and dachshund puppy being cared for at Waggytail Rescue.

Mishka is a social butterfly — she gets along well with other dogs. She's already vaccinated.

Mishka's current caretakers say:

Mishka is a 6-month-old, seven-pound, female "chiweenie" puppy. This sweet girl traveled from Texas to find her fur-ever home. Mishka is pretty fearful of the sights and sounds of the busy city and prefers to be indoors looking out from the windowsill, although she loves the local garden in her neighborhood. She is wee pad trained but still working on going potty outside. Mishka is as lovable and cuddly as she is timid. She loves pretty much all dogs and enjoys meeting and playing with other pups, but she is friendlier and happier hanging out at a park rather than walking around the NYC streets. Who couldn't love that gorgeous underbite?!
