Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Alex
4 year old Chocolate Dapple Dachshund
Fenced yard and resident dog a must!
Adoption donation $500
Alex is a mighty sweet little treat! He's a 4 yr old smooth chocolate dapple dachshund recently released from the commercial breeding industry. This 12 lb love bug has one brown eye and one stunning blue eye. When he flashes that baby blue at you, you will be wrapped around his little paw.
Alex loves spending time outside, playing with toys and wrestling with his dachshund foster brother. He will need a resident canine to continue to teach him how to be a dog and to play with. Alex will also need a securely fenced yard so he can enjoy the outdoors safely. He's working on leash training and is doing pretty well, but it's a work in progress. Alex can be a bit timid and gets nervous around loud noises, so he would do best in a quiet home with no young children.
Alex does fine in the kennel, but would prefer to sleep in bed with you at night. He's quite the little snuggler. He's doing well with his potty training as long as you take him outside regularly. He's quickly getting the hang of how to live life outside the commercial breeding facility and is enjoying every minute of it.
Alex has Ear Margin Vasculitis, which means he has low blood flow to the ends of his ears. It's not life threatening, but it is a chronic condition that will need to be treated for the rest of his life. He is currently responding well to Pentoxifylline and will need to stay on that medicine.
Otherwise Alex is a healthy, happy, loving young guy that's ready to find his forever home.
The suggested adoption donation for Alex 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. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information
