Blake was picked up as a stray by Animal Control and no one had come for him. He's a big boy at 28.8 lbs at Intake. He's not so much overweight, as just a big boy. We guess is he's mostly a standard dachshund mixed with something else. He definitely does not have the dachshund snout. Border Collie? Spaniel? Flat coat retriever? Guess away, cause Blake ain’t telling!
Poor boy was in rough shape when he came into DREAM. Much hair loss and eyes filled with discharge-but all that's changed now. Blake’s hair is growing back and his eyes now twinkle with delight. His veterinarian aged him at 6-7 years with many years of love to share.
Blake is 100% potty trained and will even whine at the door to let you know he needs to go out. That must come from outside of his dachshund heritage 😜 He loves to play with squeaky toys but isn’t good at sharing. Blake is an independent guy when on a leash. While he doesn’t pull, he likes to call the shots. When he is done walking, he is DONE. He will plop down and wait for the signal to head back home. Because of his “want to be in charge” temperament, he will need an experienced, adult only, adopter. He is also a lover and absolutely loves to be petted when he feels safe and trusts the person.
Blake is settling into his foster home so stay tuned for updates.
If you are interested in adopting Blake, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our
online adoption application. Blake's adoption fee is $450.
All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Blake will go to his / her new home microchipped, spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed.
Almost every dog's veterinary expenses exceed our adoption fees; we are a non-profit.
DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia.
Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part.
DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back.
