Email: ddrtxinfogmail Primary Website: .DDRTX Hi there, future best friend! My name’s Kipper James, and I’m an 18-month-old ball of energy, love, and just a tiny bit of chaos (the good kind, I promise). I’m still working on my outside potty skills — almost got it down! — and I learned how to use the doggie door in record time, so I’m basically a genius. I love toys (all of them, especially the squeaky ones), kids, and other dogs. Although I sometimes forget that “personal space” is something people and other pets need. If you’ve got a lap, I’m sitting in it. If you’ve got food, I’m helping you eat it. Sharing is caring, right? Walks are my jam! I adore sniffing everything and barking at dogs I can’t meet because I just know we’d be best buds if you’d let me go say hi. I’m also working on not jumping, it’s just that my excitement sometimes can’t be contained in four paws. I’m a happy, social butterfly with fur and a tail that never stops wagging. So, if you’re looking for a pup who’s full of personality, fun, and unconditional love (and who will definitely keep you laughing), I’m your guy. Let’s make it official, adopt me, and let’s start our next adventure together! Love dachshunds and not ready to adopt or circumstances won't permit having a dog? How about being a sponsor or making a donation. Every one of our dachshunds receives excellent medical care along with day to day food, love and housing. Being non-profit, we rely on generous individuals like yourselves to help save these fur babies. You can do this specifically for one dog with the sponsor button on their webpage or a general donation on our “How To Help” page. Easy and quick through Pay Pal or your debit/credit card.

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.
