I came into rescue with my brothers Chappy and Romeo, and for my whole life I lived side by side with Chappy. Because of that, I’m still trying to figure out this big new world without him. My foster mom thinks I could adjust as long as I have another dog sibling… but my biggest dream would be getting adopted together with Chappy. A guy can hope, right? I’m a very timid boy at first, but once I realize you’re safe and kind, I’ll stick to you like a fuzzy little shadow. When I trust you, I really trust you. Here are a few things about me: • Potty trained • Can sleep in a kennel or x-pen at night, but if I had my way I’d be snuggled under the covers with my person • Very good listener (I proved it!) • Leash walking is brand new to me, and I will need a secure harness because I can slip out of a collar • A little shy, but very loving once I warm up One time I slipped out of my collar and gave my foster mom a bit of a scare… but I showed her what a good boy I am by coming right back when she called. She says that proves I’ve got a pretty great heart. What I’m really looking for is a patient home that understands shy pups and will give me time to blossom. Another friendly dog would help me feel safe and show me how wonderful life as a pet can be. And if that home happened to include my brother Chappy too… well, that would be the happiest ending ever. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who will love you with his whole heart, Moose might just be your guy. .dakotadachshundrescue/info/adoption My name is Moose, I am 5 yrs young, my adoption fee is $350 plus sales tx $15.75=$365.75 My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental 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.
