My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*COURTESY POST*
NO KIDS
NO CATS
NO SMALL DOGS
NO APARTMENTS

What is your name? Axel

How old are you? 2-3 years old

What do you look like? like a long hair standard Dachshund!

How much do you weigh? 24 lbs

What do you like to eat? I like all the dog foods I've tried but can be a bit picky about my raw veggie snacks. I currently eat FirstMate chicken and oatmeal.

What kind of personality do you have? I'm energetic and playful and love, love to be close to my human for cuddles. I can be a bit suspicious of new people but if i go outside and bring them in with mom then I know they are safe.

Describe your perfect day: wake up, pee (because mom makes me before breakfast) then RUSH back inside for breakfast, then back out to potty and play then a nice long cuddle then some more yard time and more cuddles.

What is your favorite toy? FOOD TOYS. but I have started showing interest in a certain ball and there is a stuffed animal that i nibble on while upside down on my bed

Do you know any tricks? I know "sit" and am learning to wait at doors/entry ways.

What scares you? being restrained and picked up.

Have you been around children? Do you like them? I've seen a couple and I'd really rather keep my distance.

Do you like cats? yes...but not in the way humans want me to like them...i think they would make a fun game of chase!

How do you feel about other dogs? I LOVE dogs, BUT can get a little wound up and wild when i want to meet/play with them. I would do really well with a bigger calm confident dog or my size or larger active playful dog.

If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be? upside down on the sofa watching a moving with mom

How is your health? Good, but I'm a dachshund so I need to be kept lean and in good fitness for the long term health of my back.

Who do you live with in your foster home and who is your closest companion? Foster mom and dad and my furry foster siblings. I like my 80lb puppy sister the best because she always wants to play.

Where do you hang out when you are home alone? in the mud room with my bed, toys and water.

Where do you sleep? on my own bed usually but i have slept with mom a couple times and that's my favorite

Do you like walking on a leash? Yes. I walk pretty well on leash unless I'm super excited to see/smell something. I only use a comfortable harness to protect my spine.

Do you have any "not-so-great" habits that we should know about? For instance, do you bark or dig in the yard? well... I'm a dachshund and therefore I really like the sound of my own voice. I like to speak when I'm excited, happy or hungry. I do dig in the back yard, but mom says that's what I was bred to do and let's me dig wherever I want.

Are you house trained? (Meaning do you go potty outside) Of course, silly!

Do you like playing in water? when I went to the lake a waded in a few inches after the other dogs, but I didn't want to swim. I do not like the hose, but I still am very easy to handle for bathing.

What do you love about your current family? I'm rarely home alone and I have lots of dog friends to play with.
