Dreamhome Wishlist:
~ A home in a rural or suburban setting which isn't too noisy or busy.
~ A home with a fully fenced yard.
~ A family who work from home or work alternate hours to ensure that Patrick wouldn't be left unattended for more than 5-6 hours per day. A reputable dog walker could also be an option if work hours are long.
~ A home without other dogs.
~ A home with or without dog-savvy cats.
~ A single individual or a couple without children. Patrick isn't comfortable in a crowd.
~ A family willing to commit to ensuring Patrick gets at least 2-3 short walks per day and a healthy balance of both mental and physical stimulation.
~ Someone with dog experience and preferrably someone with Dachshund knowledge, dedicated to continuing Patrick's education and providing regular rules and boundaries, utilizing force-free methods.*We offer training and counselling support for all of our Adoptables through our Pup Parent System with adoption.
~ A family willing to either continue feeding Patrick the Raw Diet he's come to know and love, or willing to feed a reputable kibble such as Acana or Orijen along with blended veggies daily.*Our Doggytime Veggie Smoothie recipe will be shared with adopters.
