MORGAN - DACHSHUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Mixed. Meet Morgan! This sweet girl is a Hurricane Helena survivor whose life was turned upside down when her family lost their home. Living in a camper with two toddlers and other pets, they made the difficult decision to surrender Morgan so she could have a better chance at the life she deserves. Morgan is a friendly, social pup who’s great with kids, cats, and other dogs. She’s loving, adaptable, and ready to start her next chapter with a forever family. Since arriving in her Carolina foster home just over a week ago, Morgan has adjusted beautifully. She’s living as an only dog and has shown she’s house-trained, quiet, and respectful of boundaries and belongings. She only hops on the couch when invited and is quickly picking up new routines. Like many young dogs, she can get a little excited and jump up to greet you, but she’s eager to learn and improving each day. Morgan’s foster mom describes her as an affectionate pup who loves giving kisses and always has a wagging tail for you. She has a moderate energy level, enjoys spending time outside, and is working on her leash manners. Morgan loves chasing balls and can entertain herself indoors with toys. She already knows commands like “sit” and “wait,” and while she can be a little mouthy at times, she responds well to gentle correction. Crate training is still a work in progress. While she sleeps soundly in her crate at night, she initially protested when crated during the day. However, she’s improving with each experience and learning to settle more quickly. In her previous home, Morgan lived with dogs, cats, and kids, and her confident, happy personality shines through. We think she’d thrive in a family with other pups or children to play with. If you’re looking for a sweet, social companion, Morgan might just be your girl. Apply today!
