Usher is a 6-year-old, 28 lb Chihuahua-Dachshund mix with the perfect balance of energy and chill. Sporting a signature mohawk (because of course he does), he’s got “Superstar” energy—always ready to play hard with his toys but just as happy “Nice & Slow” curled up by your side.  Since being in his foster home, he has experienced a few seizures.  He has been seen by a vet and his bloodwork came back normal, so he has started on medication and has been doing well.  Since he may need a little "extra" love, the rescue can work with an adopter on a specialized adoption plan.This little heart-stealer found himself in rescue after his beloved owner had to enter long-term care. Clearly well-loved and cared for, Usher is looking for that special person to be his “Number One”. He tends to bond deeply with one person and wants to be their loyal shadow. In his foster home, he’s chosen his foster mom as his bestie, but he’s also gentle and friendly with the 10- and 12-year-old kids in the home and gets along well with other small and medium-sized dogs.One thing to note—Usher hates the crate. It makes him extremely anxious, so he’d do best in a home where crating isn’t necessary (and where cozying up under blankets is highly encouraged—“Can U Handle It?”) The good news? He’s not destructive when left alone and is pee pad trained, with only rare accidents outside the pads. With patience and consistency, he could likely transition to outdoor potty training.Usher is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready to say “U Got It Bad” - throw the toy he will bring it right back.
