I’m Webster, and I am an 8.5 year old long hair black and tan dachshund.  

My foster mom tells me I am an awesome dog with impeccable house behavior, I am polite and house trained.  I am an easygoing pup, who is fine as the only dog in the house, or with other dog(s). I am happy sleeping on my dog bed either in your room or another part off the house.  If I wake before you, I will come and find you to say “good morning”. I am independent and am happy in my own company, but also enjoy attention, strokes, cuddling on the couch and gentle chats.

I enjoy walks where I can sniff and explore my surroundings. I walk well on a leash; on my own or with another dog.  I like my snoozer dog bed where I can get inside and watch my humans and other pets pass by.  As a longhaired dachshund I need to be brushed or groomed as it can become matted if left un-brushed. My foster mom has given me baths, and tells me I am very patient, and I love to be cuddle dried in a towel.  The hair on my feet is long, so make sure to check my nails and keep them trimmed. I absolutely love chasing a ball when it’s thrown in the yard. I will bring it back to you, and sometimes bark at the ball reminding it who’s the boss!  I only bark in the house if I hear another dog bark from outside just to let you know what’s going on outside. When I’m in the yard I bark and greet other dogs walking outside the fence, and my tail is always wagging.

If you are looking for a middle aged dog who enjoys walks, spending time in the yard, retrieving the ball, likes to cuddle, and who wants to become a member of your family, then I’m your guy.
