Nacho is an approximately 2 year old, 12#, miniature dachshund with striking blue eyes. He is house-trained, crate-trained and dog-friendly. Nacho was found as a stray here in CO and was shutting down in the shelter from fear of his environment. Given time and space in his foster home, he eventually started playing with his doggy foster brother and snuggling his humans on the couch. He is still jumpy around sudden movements and loud noises but has mostly settled in and will likely need time to adjust again in a new environment. He has not been kid-tested, but due to his fears only homes with respectful kids 12+ or no children will be considered. Nacho goes willingly into his crate for midday rests and sleeps in his crate at night. He will quietly whine when he is ready to be let out of his crate. When Nacho is feeling playful, he will spin in circles and hop around. He enjoys leashed walks and does a pretty good job of covering distance. However, he still has a fear of unfamiliar people and dogs and will bark at passersby. Nacho will not usually potty on leash so he requires a secure fenced yard. He is dog-friendly given time and will play with another small dog his size or he can be an only dog as he also does well on his own.
