Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (medium coat). "Prospect Pete" is a miniature Dachshund boy who was recently rescued from a shelter in Louisiana. He is estimated to be 5 years old, heartworm negative, neutered and up to date on vaccines. He has a minor skin issue that is clearing up with medicated shampoo. He gravitates toward women more, so he needs a new mommy to be his main caretaker. As far as men in the home, he will be fine with them just as long as the male in the home is not his primary caregiver. He takes a while to warm up and accept treats and pets from a guy. "Petey" does well with both cats and dogs. He will need a home where daily walks is a must. He will do fine with other friendly playful dogs. Foster mom has a female foxhound that he loves! He chases her around the yard. So far he has been a fun little dog according to his foster mom. If you're interested in meeting this handsome Doxie boy, please complete an adoption application at .northstarpets and ask for PROSPECT PETE LA!

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.
