Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (long coat). Adoption Fee: $450. Frank Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: medium Potty training: trained Fenced yard: preferred, not required Shared walls: unsuitable People: adults only (very shy to start) Dogs: selective Other: car sickness requiring medication Overview Meet Frank, an adorable 3-year-old, 14-pound black and silver dapple longhaired Dachshund. Frank came to Little Paws due to separation anxiety and barking in his previous home. Despite this, he is an incredibly sweet boy who will do anything for a treat, follows his foster everywhere, and loves belly scratches and playing with his toys. Environment Frank has a medium energy level, loves walks, and is great on a leash. While he doesn't love his crate, he will go into it without issues if someone is nearby; however, if left alone in a room without company, he will cry and bark continually. Because he is quite chatty and vocal when left alone, shared walls are a major problem and he is unsuitable for apartments or townhomes. Pets & People Frank is very shy when first meeting new people and has not yet been around children. He was very friendly with everyone at the vet's office. He does well coexisting with resident dogs, following them around, though he can be possessive over scattered treats and should be fed separately or hand-fed one at a time. He has not been tested with cats. Health & Special Needs Frank experiences motion sickness and whines or vomits during car rides regardless of duration. He has a prescription for Trazodone which successfully helps him stay calm during travel. He has no other medical needs noted so far. Location Frank is available for adoption from Iron Station, NC (close to Charlotte).

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.
