Is this sentence correct or should I change parts of it?
I'm going to meet a wiener dog who had grown up in a Rio de Janeiro favela but later in life, he somehow managed to get onboard a ship at the copacabana which brought him to Manila, where he now works in a kindergarten and entertains the children.

Is a "wiener dog" a Dachshund?

Yes it's a dachshund or "sausage dog".

See above.

Some people might suggest you use "which" instead of "who" when talking about a dog. I'm happy with "who".

Why not "had grown up"? I thought it's a completed action in the past which happened before another completed action.

I'm not speaking from Manila at the moment but nevertheless, I thought "brought" can be used in AmericanEnglish.
