Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Moby is a 3 month old Dachshund mix that weighs 12.6 pounds. We got him from the shelter where he was released by his owner. What a little love bug he is!!! Moby is still unsure about what is happening but he just wants to snuggle with everyone right now. He is a puppy so his true personality will come out when he gets into a comfortable home. He is a dachshund so he needs an owner that is familiar with his breed. It would be best if he had a fenced yard for potty and playtime. If you would like to meet Moby please fill out an application from our website.

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.
