Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). 4 yr old 16lb sweet male dachshund mix If you are interested in this dog PLEASE carefully read the bio on the dog below. If you are a match please submit an adoption application at WWW.GADR.ORG. Incomplete applications will not be processed. We reserve the right to deny any application that is deemed unfit or unsuitable for the dog. Please be aware that our animal adoptions are NOT on a first come- first serve basis. Our sole purpose is to find the best possible home for the dogs that fall under our care. Please be patient our rescue consists of all volunteers. Please don't be upset at us if you're not able to adopt. We do our best. We are now accepting applications for this sweet handsome playful sweet dog named Louie. We rescued this awesome dog after a plea from a citizen to take him that was bringing him to a shelter. Louie was scared and needed our help. Louie is very sweet and shy at first and will need time to decompress. Our foster said Louie is housetrained but may have an accident the first day. Louie is great with all of our fosters dogs and cats in the household. He loves to cuddle, go for walks and run around our fosters yard! Louie is very affectionate and is a cuddle bug. UPDATE...from foster dad....Louie is a very sweet submissive and gentle dog. Louie acts like a puppy and seems younger then we were told. But most of the time he is calm and just wants love. He will be your shadow and just wants to please. Louie would do best in a home with another dog or two and with a fenced in yard. He has some separation anxiety and when you leave he does bark and cry. I have been working on it and has improved. He is a great watch dog and does let you know when a stranger is present. He would not do well if you work 8 hours plus day away from home.. A retiree or a stay at home worker or family would be perfect. He loves other small dogs and cats! Louie is an active 16 lb male 4 year old Dachshund mix who is neutered up to date on all shots, microchipped and heartworm negative. Louie does have a little separation anxiety, when you leave he does bark and cry a little, so we prefer a house, sorry no condos or apartments. Another little dog would be great too for Louie . Please only apply if you are willing to be patient and let him decompress. Louie is a wonderful sweet dog and we want the best home for him. Louie's adoption donation 400.00 Are you the one for Louie? All adoptions include 30 days pet health insurance, dog food, harness, leash and lifetime training tips

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.
