Smokey is an 8 year old dachshund, bonded with Bandit—also 8 years old. These two sweeties were in a few different homes after their previous owners sadly passed, so now they need to find their forever home together. Both these boys love, love, and love each other. They are very loyal and overall great companions. Smokey has a lot of pep in his step, even with a few extra pounds. 

Environment

Smokey and Bandit are both house and doggy door trained. They have not been crated in their foster home. They’re best when left together but don’t like to be left for too long. To avoid accidents in the house a good potty routine should be established. They would love it if their new people were home more often than not.

It would be great if these guys had a fenced yard as they love to roam and have shown a little bit of prey drive —especially Smokey—but if they get enough activity from walks and play then a yard isn’t totally necessary. Neither boy barks excessively, but some anxiety barking is to be expected as they settle in to a new home. Generally they are mostly quiet, so a home with shared walls would be manageable.

Pets & People

Smokey and Bandit are easy going and like other dogs. They are both gentle with food and treats, they don’t snatch or guard but they will “help” clear up any unfinished food if you have any slow eaters, especially Smokey.

Their foster home doesn’t have a lot of visitors but Bandit and Smokey have been fine with all the humans and canines they’ve had contact with—even at the vet! As yet they are untested with children. Their new home should be a calm environment where they can get lots of attention.  

Health

Smokey and Bandit both need to continue losing weight, they are 23 and 18 lbs respectively.
