Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Doug is a handsome 10 year old, 10 pound boy. A classic dachshund, he is a gorgeous sable color.
Doug is a well behaved boy who walks very well on his leash and loves to have sniffs in the yard of his foster home in Texas. He occasionally enjoys toys. Doug gets along well with other dogs and is tolerant of kitties. He has not been tested with children.
Doug would love a home where he can sleep in the big bed as he is a super cuddler! Doug loves to sit on your lap and spend special time with his person. Doug loves to eat but he is a slow eater and prefers to graze throughout the day.
Doug is potty pad trained, but does prefer to go outside at potty time. He is also crate trained. Like all dachshunds he will need to be confident in their environment to have good potty habits. All rescue dogs go thru a period of adjustment so understanding and patience is important.
Doug is heart worm positive and is undergoing GetALong Dachshund Rescue’s slow kill protocol. We will provide this treatment for Doug to any approved adopter until such time Doug tests negative for heartworms. He is doing very well with this treatment!
Doug is an amazing boy who would be a welcome addition to any family. Are you looking for #longdoglove? Doug is your boy!
