Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Look at this handsome frosty face! My name is CoCo Button, I weigh in at 8 lbs and I'm about 15 years old, but I'm young at heart! I came to DDR after my mom was no longer able to care for me. My foster mom says I'm about the sweetest, most calm little guy she's ever seen. I have lots going for me....I'm house trained and crate trained, I can either sleep in the big bed or on my floor bed. I don't much care for playing with toys....I'm much more interested in my snacks! I get along with other pups but I'm not sure about cats. I would love to be in a home where someone is home much of the time as this is what I'm used to. If I sound like the pup that you think would make your family complete, get your application in! I can't wait to meet you, Love CoCo Please see FAQs for current adoption fees. DDRTX only adopts in Central/South Texas. Email: ddrtxinfogmail Primary Website: .DDRTX

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.
