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.

Boy do we have a sweet little bite sized treat for you! �� Meet Taffy, a 5 yr old (2/19/19), chocolate dapple wirehair dachshund recently released from a commercial breeding facility. Taffy is a sweet, curious little girl that is absolutely loving life outside of the breeding industry.
Taffy loves to be outside. She's a curious girl that enjoys spending time in the sun, watching all the neighborhood activity. She's making good progress on her potty training as long as she's taken outside regularly. She still has some accidents, but with patience and consistency, she will master this skill. She will need a securely fenced yard to continue her potty training and allow her to explore her new world safely.
Taffy loves to spend time with her person and will follow you around. She likes to "help" around the house especially when it comes to cleaning dishes.
Taffy also gets along well with other small dogs. She loves to run around with her dachshund foster sister and they are often found snuggling. She will need a small resident dog to help her settle into her new home.
Taffy can still be skittish around loud noises and new people. It will take her a bit to get settled into her new home, but once she is comfortable with her new family, she loves getting petted and loved on. She will even "butt in" and demand attention if other dogs are getting loves and she's not. She will do best in a somewhat quiet home with no small kids.
Taffy is fully vetted. During her dental, she lost 18 teeth. She still eats kibble just fine, but you'll want to help her take care of the teeth she has left, so she can keep as many as possible.
Taffy has done fine in the crate, but prefers to sleep in the big bed at night. She has also done well being left out in the house when her foster mom leaves the house for a bit.
Overall, Taffy is a happy, curious little dachshund enjoying her newfound life. She will need a little patience to get her settled into her new home, but she is truly a sweet little treat. Get you some ��Taffy�� by applying today at https://www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information


The suggested adoption donation for Taffy 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

We require securely fenced yards for our terrier breeds and we do not consider invisible fencing safe or appropriate for terriers. Adoption applications can be found at wagntrainterrierrescue.com
