TAILS - NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS! - DACHSHUND (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund (long coat). Meet Tails! This gorgeous little guy was sadly abandoned in an apartment complex when his family moved and couldn’t—or wouldn’t—take him with them. Thankfully, caring neighbors stepped in and reached out to his current foster mom, Debbie, for help. Debbie didn’t hesitate to foster him, and of course, we said yes to bringing Tails into rescue. Tails is now thriving in his foster home and has integrated beautifully into his foster pack. He did an excellent job transitioning and has proven to be great with both dogs and cats. He does well with dogs of all sizes and is curious about the cats but means them no harm. While Tails is naturally drawn to his humans for comfort and security, he also enjoys following the lead of his canine pack. Tails is a very chill boy with a moderate energy level. He is both house-trained and crate-trained, and currently enjoys two walks a day—especially stopping to sniff and explore. He may be curious about other dogs on leash, but he is not reactive. When he’s not out for a walk, Tails is happiest relaxing on the couch with his person. He looks to his human for emotional reassurance, and his favorite spot is curled up in Debbie’s lap. Tails can be shy at first and is wary of strangers, especially loud people or sudden movements. He’ll do best in a calm, consistent home and would benefit from continued gentle exposure to visitors. He previously lived with older children (10+), which would be a good fit again. Tails is not aggressive at all—he’s simply a sensitive soul who prefers a peaceful environment and very much considers himself a lap dog. His ideal day? A good meal, a nice walk, and lots of cuddles with his person. Tails is ready for a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will happily curl up in your lap and steal your heart, Tails may be your perfect match. Apply today!
