BISCOFF - DACHSHUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Mixed. Biscoff is a sweet but very fearful girl who is still learning that the world can be a safe place. She came from a hoarding situation and is currently extremely skittish and shut down, but she is beginning to make small, steady progress each day. At this time, Biscoff spends most of her day resting quietly in a dog bed within her open pen. She prefers calm, low-activity environments and feels safest observing life from a distance. While she is very reserved with people, she does occasionally take comfort in following the other dogs in the home and being near them. Biscoff does have leash reactivity/aggression due to fear and is not yet comfortable with leash walking or structured handling. Her reactions are rooted in anxiety and overwhelm, and she will need continued patient, careful work at her pace before she can safely progress in this area. She does get along with other dogs and may benefit from a calm, confident canine companion to help her continue building trust and confidence. She is still very much a work in progress and will require a quiet, structured home with an adopter who understands fearful dogs and is committed to slow, steady rehabilitation. Despite her fear, Biscoff does show some encouraging signs. She will cautiously come forward for high-value treats and is gradually starting to show curiosity in very small moments. She is surprisingly not overly reactive to loud noises, but remains generally fearful of most new experiences. Biscoff will need significant time, patience, and understanding to continue decompressing from her past. She is not a quick turnaround dog, but with consistency and a safe environment, she has the potential to slowly begin building trust and confidence. For the right person, Biscoff will be a deeply rewarding journey—one that requires patience, compassion, and a willingness to let her move at her own pace as she learns the world is no longer a scary place.
