Dachshund puppies and dogs in Sandy, Utah

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi Rover family!  I'm Lil Cooper, a lively 2-year-old dachshund/chihuahua mix weighing 19 lbs. I absolutely adore treats and playing with my foster brothers who are bigger than me. I walk well on a leash and am eager to learn more to build my confidence. Potty training is a breeze when I'm on a schedule, and I sleep soundly in my crate at night. I respond well to redirection from my foster mom or when she calls me in from outside. I do better with older kids as I might accidentally push little ones down when jumping around. I haven't been around cats but likely will chase them. I'm very affectionate and enjoy cuddling up on the couch with my human friends. My playful nature means I can be quite energetic, so a family that active would be great for me. I have a soft spot for chew toys and can spend hours amusing myself with them. While I am still working on my confidence, patience and positive reinforcement go a long way to help me adjust. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who will bring joy and excitement, I'm your perfect match! To meet me please apply @  https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplicationVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 22, 2025, 3:39 pm

Buddy Munchkin...there is just so much to say about this happy sweet boy. First of all, is he not just the cutest guy you've ever seen?! I mean how can you not instantly fall in love with those cute little legs of his and his adorable face. It's a little hard to resist not going to lie but just wait until you watch his video and learn more about his personality. It'll be game over and you'll find yourself counting down the days until he is in your home spoiling him with all the love and toys! Watch his video and fall in love with this adorable little guy: https://youtu.be/5ClT3UzMqy4?si=cf3o8AxuNJauVG_R Buddy is believed to be a Dachshund mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 31lbs and is full grown! Y'all don't let his pictures fool you, he's a little guy with the cutest little legs. You can probably tell the height distance between his legs and the ground. Instantly a sight that makes me smile. Buddy is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Buddy is very dog friendly and is currently fostered with 4 other large breed dogs all with varying personalities and he gets along great with all of them. He loves to play chase and run around the yard with his foster siblings. Watching him play is a show in its self, especially when he is trying to run as fast as the big dogs LOL. Poor guy's legs aren't long enough to keep up but he certainly tries and his legs go into hyper-drive/turbo mode. Which is Buddy's rendition of a " sprint" that looks more or less like a faster paced trot. If you don't have other dogs, that's fine too! Buddy does not need the company of another dog to help him feel comfortable and open up. He loves attention and would love to be the center of yours. When it comes to training, Buddy is very treat motivated, is eager to please, already knows how to sit and walks well on a leash! His foster mom reports he is fully potty trained and that he is learning all about the crate and how the crate is a good thing. Buddy rides great in the car too! He will just lay down in the backseat, and occasionally look out the window watching all the passerby's. He does need a reminder every now and then that he can't ride shotgun and that his seat is in the back. He just gets excited and happy about going on an adventure like we all do. Buddy's ideal home would have a backyard where he can prance around, explore all the smells, soak up the sun during those nice summer days, and porch sit with his favorite people. Buddy is such a lover boy at heart and loves affection! One of his favorite things that his foster mom does for him, is when she tucks him in for bed, wrapping him up like a little burrito. He loves to burry his face into all the blankets, wrapping himself up even more before rolling over and asking for belly rubs, which are also a favorite of his. His foster mom jokes about how he believes he is a lap dog and will crawl into their laps any chance he can get. She says his love and affection knows no bounds and in the best way. He loves to be around people and turns into your little "shadow." He would do great with someone who works from home or retired, and with a family that likes to have their dog with them all the time. He's he best at keeping you company so if you're looking for a companion Buddy is definitely the fur baby for you. We are willing to test Buddy Munchkin with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

If you like your dogs sweet, sensitive, lap-loving and with a calming presence, Forest is the boy for you, plain and simple. Let’s start with looks because my goodness he is striking! I don’t think there is anything cuter than a little dog that looks like a mini version of an otherwise large breed, and Forest gives mini cattle dog without any of the drive that is typical for. The breed. Forest is petite, polka-dotted and spotted with the most expressive, soft eyes. At just 16 lbs, his desire to be an adored lap dog perfectly suit him. We estimate he’s about 6 months old, so he may have a little more growing to do but given we cannot guarantee age in rescue, he also could be closer to a year and otherwise near full-grown. Either way, he is destined for small-dog life and he wouldn’t change that for anything. When I first met him I was immediately enamored with him but I sat close by and let him make the first move. Within a few minutes he slowly approached and within a few minutes he gently crawled into my lap. If it was up to me I would have sat there with him forever, his presence is so calming! Its almost like he melts into you! It is easy to see Forest is still learning about the world but the one thing he has mastered is his presence and the way to quietly steal a heart. Forest is incredibly loving, but he’s not a dog who will immediately bounce into a new home ready to go.He is going to observe and be very respectful of the space while he soaks it all in. He thrives on gentle energy, understanding, and a calm environment. His dream home has a touch of zen and a warm vibe. This boy is not meant for a house with a steady stream of people in and out, you could almost say he is allergic to chaos. He is a guru who values peace and coziness. A house with a yard would be best simply because of how busy apartment life can be for a dog, plus he loves to lay in the grass and soak in the sun. As for family life, Forest welcomes littles and lit up when he met a 4 and 5 year old that were playing with building blocks together. He walked right in and immediately went over to greet them. He was mindful of their builds and gave gentle kisses before going and laying down nearby. Anyone with kids will acknowledge they can be chaotic but calm children do exist and Forest would be an amazing companion for a family with kids who love to sit on the floor and play over running wild playing cops and robbers. Forest clearly found comfort in their presence and it was so heartwarming to see. Someone equated it the “Butterfly Room” vs the “Caterpillar Room” in Toy Story 3. If you get the reference you will understand- Forest is a Butterfly Room boy. His leash skills need work, and a bustling urban area or apartment building wouldn’t suit his current comfort level or temperament. He needs a safe yard to explore, a quiet routine, and a person who understands the value of going slow. Forest has been so fortunate and is fostered in a loving home, which has given him a good foundation—he’s house-trained, respectful indoors, and was an easy addition, getting along with all their dogs and cats. On walks, he’ll stay by your side and rarely reacts to outside distractions. It is worth acknowledging , although he has basic leash skills, he is not leash savvy in a variety of environments. If walking in a very busy area it is easy to imagine it may overwhelm him at the moment. His foster family is regularly taking him on outings so he is slowly learning more and more about the big, wide world. He lives with a variety of dogs, big to small and was introduced to new dogs during an afternoon with us. Although he was initially unsure, he handled the wild energy but clearly had a “type.” The calmer dogs that did not push for him to play or to get his attention were the ones he gravitated to. If he was taking on the role of +1, he could best be described as, quiet, observant boy seeks confident, mature, respectful female for companionship. I would go so far as to say, he not looking for a playmate as much as a calm canine companion. Forest also did well meeting our house cat and from what we saw we feel he could live with any temperament of feline friend. His approach was respectful, curious, and non-threatening. He calmly laid on the couch and let the cat approach him, never once was bothered by him pestering him, and didn’t show even a vague interest in chasing him. The TLDR version- Forest is a total sweetheart with promises of quiet affection, gentle presence, and a deeply rewarding bond. Questions?

Meet Toby Toblerone Weinerwobble! This gorgeous boy is about 2 years old, only 12 pounds, and we think he may be a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, but with rescue, it's always a guess! Watch Toby's video here: Yes, it's a silly name, but this Toby is one distinguished gentleman. He may be low to the ground, but this sweet boy rates sky high on the lovability scale! We adore his expressive eyes - we think it's the eyebrows that he uses to full effect - and this boy can get extra treats from us by tilting his head just so. (Who can resist an inquisitive head tilt? Not us!) And we simply cannot get over his lowrider status - his short legs are adorable. Sweet Toby can be shy at first in new places with new people, but don't let that fool you. He is quite the social butterfly and likes to meet new people, ever curious about what is going on....just...over...there. Toby will investigate his surroundings and choose the best place to sit (your lap), or if he must, a soft and fluffy dog bed. Toby loves to be outdoors and does well on a leash, but we can tell he would just love a nice backyard to run free. (Bonus: his legs are short, so the yard doesn't have to be that big, lol.) We love Toby’s happy and joyful attitude and know you will too! Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/67b6064903f12854b607826d Questions?
