I am a breeder release girl just beginning to learn to live life as a house pet. I am finally settling in and realizing my foster mom is here to take care of me and won't hurt me. I love having freedom in my foster mom's fenced yard, love being in the house and sitting next to my foster mom on the couch. I'm not yet keen on being held. This journey to become a house pet is a lot! Wearing a harness, I am not open to a leash yet. A fenced yard is a must for me. I have to be followed around a cornered in order for my foster mom to pick me up. I had to have most all of my teeth pulled as they were very rotten :( I'm eaten softened food to make it easier on my mouth. Do you have time and patience to help me continue on this journey to become a house pet? I am 2 yrs old, I turn 3 yrs old in October, I weigh almost 12 pounds, my adoption fee is $400 plus sales tax $18=$418 My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental with extractions and microchipping.

Overview:
The Dachshund, affectionately known as the "wiener dog," is a fascinating breed originating in Germany, primarily bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals. Their most distinctive physical characteristic is their long, low-slung body and short, muscular legs, a feature perfectly adapted for tunneling. They come in three coat types – smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired – and various sizes, from miniature to standard. Temperamentally, Dachshunds are known for being courageous, curious, and often quite playful, with a surprising amount of energy. While they are intelligent, their independent nature can make training a delightful challenge. Their small size and relatively low exercise requirements make them well-suited for apartment living, and they can be wonderful companions for families, though early socialization is key, especially with children and other pets. Regarding health, their unique body shape predisposes them to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), so careful handling and weight management are crucial.
