Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Forrest Gump and Huckleberry Finn. These two brothers were rescued from a hoarding situation in the outer Houston area. They are approximately 2 years old and are a dachshund mix (with possible miniature aussie). These boys have amazingly striking merle coat patterns and both currently weigh less than 20lbs. They are neutered, up to date on their vaccinations and heartworm negative. Forrest and Huck are kennel trained, great with other dogs and cats and kids. They are a little shy when meeting new people, but quickly warm up once they realize they are not in harms way - especially when offered a treat :)
When we received both of these boys, we quickly realized that Forrest has a minor birth defect, affecting his two front paws. After an X-ray was performed, it was determined that he was missing some of his metatarsals. Forrest is not in any pain but does get tired if walking outside for an extended amount of time. His defect definitely does not slow him down when inside begging for his next treat! Huckleberry has no visible impairments (other than being overly cute :)
Both Huck and Forrest are currently in foster homes separately from each other. It has been determined that while we once thought that they might be a "bonded pair" and would need to be adopted together, this is not the case. They are both happy and playful in their respective foster homes BUT thrive on the company and interaction of other dogs. With this being the case, they can either be adopted together or if separate - they must each go to a home with other dogs. If you are looking for a small dog who is mild mannered, calm and quiet and LOVES to sit on your lap and cuddle - look no further than Forrest Gump or Huckleberry Finn.
