Description:

He is the softest (to the touch) dog ever! He is approximately 4 years old and has a beautiful set of "pearly whites " that he only shows when he smiles.

He gets along well with resident dogs (all under 25#) AND the cat. He allows the cat in his face to sniff him.

He slept in a crate the first couple of nights without much protest but since then has been allowed on the bed where he sleeps quietly on the foot of the bed. He sleeps through the night without accidents.

During the day he loves to frolic with chew bones or squeaky toys or chase in the back yard with the resident dogs.

We haven't done much leash walking yet but he loves to go for rides in the car where he rides quietly curled up on the back seat.

When "company" arrives, he is definitely vocal...and loud . He also enjoys watching out the window but barks at passers-by. We are working on the barking and the "no" command. Because of this a shared wall home would not be a good idea. He let's you know when he needs to go out and has only had an occasional "marking" incident.

Because he has a very long Dachshund body, he is a "two handed pick up". Previous Dachshund experience is strongly suggested, because, in addition to back issues that need to be considered (jumping up and down from furniture), doxies are bred to dig and hunt and have been known to attack and kill nests of bunnies and snakes, just to name a couple of breed tendencies.

He has not yet been around children but he is very even tempered if treated with respect, so any but very young children should be fine.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
