My personality

My story

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

Baker is an active, 11-pound, wire-haired Dachshund mix puppy of 6 months, with beautiful brown and beige coloring. His coat is slightly coarse but soft and shiny. He will be a great dog for anyone, especially if you don't want grooming bills.

Baker is somewhat sight-impaired with cloudy eyes but is able to see well enough to run fast all around the yard and house without bumping into things. He has been to a veterinary ophthalmologist who diagnosed his eye problems and feels they will clear eventually. It was caused, they think, from an infection causing his eyes to become inflamed and liquid to build up causing the cloudy appearance. It is improving but will take time to clear completely, and he will need eye meds until then. His having to deal with this has caused him to have 'blinding fear,' in other words, when scared he freezes and doesn't appear to see anything. He is just scared. Growing up and gaining confidence will help him to resolve his fear response.

Baker is smart and active, a great cuddler, jumps up on the couch for loves, enjoys running around when taken outside, plays with toys and other dogs, and alerts to strangers. He is doing well with potty training and using the doggie door.

He's not been leash tested yet. He is cooperative but cautious when called to come. He is fitting in well in his foster home.

Baker is healthy, eats well, loves large beef bones, is well-muscled, well proportioned, not terribly long bodied for a doxy (which is good for his spine); maybe that's because he is a mix of some sort. He is not neutered yet, and the adopter will be contractually responsible for this procedure when he is old enough.

Baker is a total love bug and will make a great companion for any family with gentle hands and voices, and the patience to train a puppy. He is still very young and very active and not recommended for seniors as he tends to walk underfoot and could be a trip hazard.

If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Baker, the first step is to submit an adoption application. Please go to our website www.k9bestfriendsforever.com and click on "Adopt" which will take you to our online application form.
