Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (long coat). This purebred chocolate long-haired boy is named Rexx and he would like very much to come to NJ to find a new home. Rex is 3 years old and weighs about 12 pounds. Rexx is very loving but he can be a hog about not sharing with other dogs in the house. He is learning that he can't be King of the Castle all of the time though. He lives with lots of dogs & is good with them - he is also a very smart boy! Rexx does have some separation anxiety so he would not do well in attached housing. If there is not another dog in his new home then he'd do well with someone who is home most of the time. Rexx would do best in an adult-only household but may be fine with young adults over 15 years old who can respect his space. If you think your home would be a good fit for Rexx, please fill out an adoption application and be sure to mention his name, REXX DOXIE!

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.
