My story

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

Josh is a lovable 13-week-old beagle/dachshund mix, ready to find his forever home. Rescued from unfortunate circumstances, this little pup is now looking forward to a bright and happy future with a loving family. He may be young, but he's already showing off his unique blend of beagle curiosity and dachshund playfulness.

Temperament:
Josh's playful and spirited nature shines through as he interacts with his fellow furry friends at the rescue center. While he's full of energy and loves playing with toys, he can be initially shy when meeting new people. However, with a patient and understanding approach, he quickly warms up and becomes an affectionate companion.

Interests and Activities:
One of Josh's favorite activities is splashing around in a small pool. Whether it's a hot summer day or just for fun, he delights in getting wet and having a blast. Providing him with a small pool in his new home would undoubtedly keep him entertained and happy.

His love for toys is evident, and he can spend hours playing with them. From squeaky toys to interactive puzzles, Josh is always up for a good playtime session. Engaging him in play not only brings him joy but also helps build a strong bond with his new family.

Ideal Home:
Josh would thrive in a home that understands his shy tendencies and is willing to give him the time and space he needs to acclimate to new surroundings. A family with older children or adults would be a great fit, as younger children's fast movements and loud noises might overwhelm him.

A fenced yard or a safe outdoor area would provide him with plenty of opportunities to explore and play. Additionally, his fondness for playing in a small pool makes a water-loving family an added bonus.

Training and Socialization:
As a young puppy, Josh is at the perfect age to begin his training journey. Positive reinforcement methods, patience, and consistency will go a long way in helping him become a well-behaved and confident dog. Gradual socialization with other dogs and new people will help him overcome his initial shyness and blossom into a more outgoing companion.
