My story

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

THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED.

Shelley Winters is a lovely 2 year old light red smooth dachshund that was recently released from a commercial breeding facility. She's had a rough life prior to entering rescue that has left her very untrusting of humans. She's scared, timid and skittish around humans. She'll need time, patience and lots of love to help her understand that not everyone is going to hurt her.

Although Shelley is skittish around humans, she keeps close to you and wants to know where you are at all times. She seems to crave love and attention, but she just isn't quite ready yet. She'll need time and patience to help her come around. A calm, quiet home is a must for Shelley.

Shelley Winters gets along well with other dogs. She does well with both small dogs and large calm dogs. She doesn't play with other dogs at this time, but seems to enjoy their company.
Shelley is working on potty training. She prefers not to potty in the house and does well with regular trips outside. A fenced yard is required to help continue her potty training.

Shelley Winters is a "good sized" girl. Whether you call it big boned or chubby, she's recently had babies and just hasn't had time to get her svelte figure back. She will need a home that will continue to work with her to get to a healthy weight so she feels her best.

Shelley Winters is a work in progress. She will need lots of love and patience to help transform her to a wonderful addition to your family.

The suggested adoption donation for Shelley Winters is a minimum of $600 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
