A5161959 Heidi is an adorable spayed 9-month-old mahogany Dachshund/Chihuahua mix puppy who came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on March 27th as a stray. Weighing 7 lbs, Heidi is underweight and seems to have had a rough time. She’s scared to death at the shelter, which is no place for a young puppy, and tends to hide in her blankets. Once she’s out and about, she does warm up. She walks well on leash and is fine with other dogs. She likes to be held and cuddled once she feels safe. We noticed that she is sensitive about being picked up or touched on her belly -- this may be because she was just spayed, but she is very defensive and we think she’d do best in an adult-only household where she is approached gently. Heidi is super-cute, with a beautiful reddish coat and an alert little face. She really needs to get out of the shelter and into a safe, loving home where she can get the puppy training that will increase her confidence.
