Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Pretzel is an adorable 7 month old red smooth male dachshund. He has a substantial black overlay to his coat, making it a very deep, rich, red color. He currently weighs 10 pounds but will continue to gain 2 - 4 more pounds as he matures.
Pretzel was found abandoned at a public facility, and with the help of the employees there, he was referred to our rescue program. We were glad we had an opening, so we could accept this darling dog. He is neutered and current on shots, and he had a small umbilical hernia repaired. He will be ready for a new home around May 11th.
Pretzel is curious and friendly but not overly active, considering he's still a puppy. He enjoys playing with plush squeaky toys and entertains himself well. He explores his foster family's back yard but he doesn't like to stray too far away from people.
Pretzel sleeps well through the night in a crate in the bedroom, without crying or whining. He knows how to "sit" for treats, and will also "spin" for treats. His foster Mom thinks that "roll over" will soon be added to Pretzel's repertoire. He's a smart little boy and eager to please.
Do keep in mind that Pretzel, being a young dachshund, is still in the "chewing" phase. He will need close supervision at first while he learns what is and isn't appropriate to chew.
We don't know what situation prompted Pretzel's owners to abandon him, but we are thankful that he was left in a location where caring people would ensure his safety. Pretzel is sweet and gentle, smart and loving, enjoys attention and likes to cuddle in your arms. He gets along well with other dogs and generally has a tranquil personality (for a young dog). He will be a charming companion to add to someone's home. Are you the one?
Can you give Pretzel a loving, permanent home with lots of attention? If so, read the rest of the information below and then contact us for an adoption application. Please be aware that our adoption applications are sent out by postal mail only, and are not sent by e-mail nor are they available on-line.
