Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (long coat). Adoption Fee: $325. Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. • Energy level: medium • Potty training: in progress • Fenced yard: yes, required • Shared walls: suitable • People: all • Dogs: does well with other dogs; large dogs untested • Other: has never been on a leash Overview Sweet, quiet, and full of surprises, meet Nutmeg. This 8-year-old black and tan long- haired pure dachshund came to Little Paws as a surrender, and she is just beginning to discover what life as a cherished family dog looks like. At 9 lbs of soft, silky fluff, Nutmeg is a gentle soul with a playful spirit waiting to come out. She takes her time with new people and new situations, but once she decides you are her people, she is wonderfully sweet. Environment Nutmeg is still learning the ropes of housetraining and will need patience and a consistent routine. She has never been on a leash before, so walks will be a whole new adventure for her, one she will need to take at her own pace with a gentle, encouraging hand. A securely fenced yard will give her a safe space to explore and build her confidence. She goes into her crate on her own during the day to nap, which is a lovely sign of how settled she is in her space. She is calm and quiet indoors and seems to do fine when left with other dogs around. She did well being picked up and transported to her foster home, which bodes well for car travel. Pets & People Nutmeg is shy and skittish at first with new people, but she opens up into a warm, sweet companion once she feels safe. She does well with the other dogs in her foster home, though she has not yet been around large dogs, so introductions with bigger breeds should be done thoughtfully. She is gentle with treats and loves her food. Her compatibility with cats is unknown and would need to be assessed. Location Nutmeg is available for adoption from Cumming, GA.

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.
