Meet Chewy, a 2-year-old long-haired Dachshund from Spring Hill, Tennessee, who’s as adorable as her name suggests! This 14-pound chocolate-and-tan sweetheart came into rescue after her former owner, worried about tension with another female dog, made the heartbreaking decision to let her go. Though shy at first, Chewy quickly warms up once she feels safe — showing off her affectionate, loyal, and playful personality. She’s now ready to find her forever family who will give her love, patience, and a yard to explore.

Why She’s the Ultimate Little Lovebug
🐾 House-trained and uses a doggie door like a pro
🛏️ Crate trained and sleeps comfortably through the night
🐕 Enjoys the company of male dogs and calm, non-alpha females
🌳 Loves spending time outside — a fenced yard is a must for her happiness
💻 A perfect companion for someone who works from home or is newly retired
💞 Lap-loving and affectionate — will beg for snuggles while you relax or work

What She’s Looking For
✔️ A fenced-in yard where she can safely run and play
✔️ Another small, young male dog or a non-alpha female companion — or she can be an only dog with someone home most of the time
✔️ A home without small children (kids 11+ only, please)
✔️ A family willing to help her stay fit — her ideal weight is around 12 lbs
✔️ No apartments or condos — Chewy likes to “announce” when visitors arrive!

Chewy is a gentle, loving little lady who will thrive in a calm, nurturing environment. Once she trusts you, she’ll reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and the sweetest companionship. 💕 If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this Tennessee treasure, we’d love to hear from you!
