My story

****THESE 4 PUPPIES ARE LOCATED IN WINDSOR LOCKS, CT AND MUST BE MET AROUND THAT LOCATION**** The foster that has them has said this about them: They are coming out of their shell and learning how to play with toys and each other. They are playful now! They are learning to love their children who are young. The children are very gentle though, so any children must be very gentle as they can still be a bit timid. It doesn’t seem like the 2 with longer hair shed - so they could be considered hypoallergenic. They are mostly house trained, YAY!! Time and consistency will allow them to master this 100% General information: Available for adoption is our delicious Mexican dish puppies! These sweet babies are about 12 weeks old and are the gentlest furbabies. Nacho, Tamale, Fajita and Birria are ready to find their forever homes. They have not had an easy life. They grew up under a house on the Texas/Mexico border in a small town called Pharr, Texas, where they had no human interaction. The owners of the home wanted nothing to do with them. A good Samaritan had seen them and offered to help. Over the course of a few days, they were able to get all 4 puppies to safety and in a foster. There are 2 males and 1 female: Tamale – Female – Schnauzer/Dachshund mix – Tri Color – Wirehair – Minimal shedding – 5.5 lbs as of 4/28/25 Nacho – Male – Dachshund/Chi mix – Black/Tan – Short hair – biggest of the litter at 7.5 lbs as of 4/28/25 (loves toys more than the others!) Birria – Male – Schnauzer/Dachshund mix – Tri Color – Wirehair – Minimal shedding – 5.8 lbs as of 4/28/25 These babies are very timid. They have been fostered with cats and other dogs, and we strongly suggest having another FRIENDLY, confident dog in the home to help them come out of their shell. When you baby talk them or talk sweet to them, they wag their tails and want to trust you, but they just don’t know how yet. They are very gentle babies. Not aggressive at all, just unsure. We do not recommend small/young children with these babies. They are too nervous and loud sounds, too much going on in a household will only cause them to withdraw further. An ideal home for these babies is one that is calm, quieter and very patient. We know with lots of love and time these puppies will thrive. They are just learning what everything is – toys, treats, play time, cuddle time, and love. If you think you have the perfect home for one of these babies, please consider applying to adopt – You can fill out an application at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org They are current on vaccinations, dewormed, current on flea/heartworm/tick meds, microchipped and will have a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to adoption.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Nacho, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
