My story

Sebastian
Requirements:
Fenced yard
No young children
Resident dog
Adoption donation $500

Sebastian is sooo happy to be done with the commercial breeding industry! Seb is a gorgeous 3 year old (born 12/8/17) long haired black and tan dapple dachshund that weighs in around 18-20 lbs. After being mistreated for the first 3 yrs of his life, Seb came to us terrified of humans. He wanted nothing to do with people including cuddles, kisses or even taking treats from your hand. Seb has made great progress in rescue and has become quite the love bug with a constantly wagging tail and a goofy personality.
Sebastian is potty trained and is crate trained. He does will with other small dogs and will require a resident dog to continue to "show him the ropes" and be his companion. Seb enjoys spending time outside sunbathing and barking at the neighbor dogs. Since he hasn't learned to walk on a leash yet, he will need a securely fenced yard for his safety. Sebastian absolutely LOVES toys...he carries them around, taking them everywhere with him. He's a toy hoarder that will collect all his favorite toys and keep them in his crate so the other dogs can't play with them. He can get a little possessive of his favorite toys, but he has learned not to get too grumpy when other dogs get near his "stash". He would love a home with another dog that doesn't really care much about toys so he can play with them in peace and not worry about another dog stealing them from him.
Although Sebbie has come so far in such a short time, he will need a quiet home that is calm and patient (no young children) to help him adjust to this new life outside of the breeding industry. He will be nervous and skittish at first, but given time, patience and love, you will see his cheerful, goofy, loving personality develop.


The suggested adoption donation for Sebastian is a minimum of $500 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment.
