Adopt a Dachshund (short coat)

What a great dog!

 

Teddy is a laid back, fun loving, snuggle buddy that would love nothing more than to be a holiday addition to your family. 

Don't let the gray hair fool you, this dog can keep up with 

dogs

half his age. Teddy is classically handsome, well mannered, and fun 

spirit

ed

 with a distinguished salt and pepper look – much like George Clooney. His white tummy even looks like a tuxedo. He will turn heads out on walks, and look great in your holiday family photos. 

Teddy had to be surrendered by his family, and is used to being a family 

dog

. He knows the rules of the house. He shares his toys. He doesn't guard his food. He is house trained and knows how to use the dog door. He sleeps through the night in his kennel. He doesn't bark much – only when his foster brothers need help. He gets along well with 

other

 dogs. 

Teddy is a constant companion. He likes to be right by your side. If he can't sit in your lap, then he'll curl up at your feet. Just make sure there is a blanket or something soft. 

Teddy's three favorite things are belly rubs, soft chew toys, socks, and belly rubs. Boy, does 

he 

LOVE

 belly rubs. Don't worry, he'll remind you that you haven't paid enough attention to his tummy.  He can't always decide which toy to chew, so he'll collect a few and then take out all the 

fluffin

'

. That doesn't mean that he's done with them though. He'll still carry them around wherever he goes. Be careful, he will also collect stray socks if you leave them out. But he knows what he's allowed to chew, and what he's not. 

Walks are always an adventure. Teddy loves to explore the neighborhood. He does great on a leash. H

e also loves naps on the couch. He would do well in either a house with a yard, or an apartment. 

Teddy is a very loving dog, with great manners and a big heart. He has been easy to have in our home. I know he will bring lots of joy into yours.
