Energy level: high Potty training: trained Fenced yard: required Shared walls: unsuitable People: all Dogs: all Other: strong prey drive Overview Penny is an 18-month-old, 9 lb black and tan shorthair Dachshund who loves all people and is full of sweet energy. She thrives when spending time with her humans, quickly adapting to household routines, and bringing lots of affection and playfulness wherever she goes. Environment Penny does best in a home with a secure, fenced yard where she can safely explore. Due to her chatty nature and vocal excitement, she is not suitable for living arrangements with shared walls (such as apartments or townhomes). She is comfortable sleeping in her crate or hanging out in it during the day. Pets & People Penny loves everyone she meets, including kids, and greets people with tail wags and licks. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and requires a resident dog playmate in her forever home. However, she should not be placed in a home with cats due to her strong prey drive. Health & Special Needs Penny is in good health with no reported medical issues. She has a lively prey drive and loves tracking or digging for moles, so close monitoring near fence lines is recommended to ensure she stays within the yard. She rides well in the car when crated.

The adoption fee for Penny is $450.00

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.
