Nixon Dachshund & Corgi Mix Los Alamitos, CA

Please read the dog's entire bio before you apply. Sadly, we are no longer able to respond to every application, but if your application appears to be a good match for the dog we will reach out within 3 days.
Nixon is a male mix breed born around 8/2021 . He is 16 lbs and our best guess is that he is some combo of doxie/corgi/min pin/chihuahua.... he has a shiny coat, short legs and very expressive ears. His little face has some white hair which makes him look very distinguished. Nixon was found in an abandoned house with a bunch of other dogs who had to fend for themselves. He so much wants his own family, he is sweet once trusts you (which can take days and lots of treats). Once he knows you he loves to gives kisses and do zoomies. Nixon is very food motivated and loves all sorts of treats. He is scared of new places and new people but is doing well coming out of his shell and learning to walk on the leash. He loves doing burn outs all over and is very fast when he is having a good time :-) He would not do well with fast movements from children or very busy households. He is good with non-intimidating dogs after a slow intro and likes puppies.
