Squeak is a 12 year old, 11 lb short-haired red dachshund. He came to Little Paws looking for a new home after being surrendered by an owner who no could no longer take care of him. His happy, laid back demeanor and sweet frosty face will fit right in with a lucky new family. 

Environment

Squeak is house trained, outside of a couple of accidents while getting used to his new location. He is also good in a crate.

Squeak loves to roam outside and lay in the sun or be a couch potato with his furry foster siblings. He would love it if his new home had some outdoor space so that he might suntan at his leisure. He’s also great on the leash and enjoys a walk. Squeak would be ok in a home with shared walls, since he’s not very vocal. He would be happy if his new people were home a lot but he’s well behaved when left alone wearing a belly band. He loves to sleep in the big bed at night.

Pets & People

Squeak is such a happy guy with both people and dogs. His tail never stops wagging. He’s playful and adaptable with the pack—currently mini doxie seniors, but his previous owner said he was fine with big dogs too. He is very food motivated and not always great with boundaries so care should be taken if there’s a more guarded dog in the home. 

Squeak likes to greet visitors to get extra attention, and loves whomever it comes from, and he does well with older respectful children. 

Health

Squeak has a grade 4 heart murmur, cataracts, only a few teeth, and is hard of hearing. He has an umbilical hernia with no issues.

Location

Squeak is available for adoption from Falls Church, VA and has been fine in the car so a wider adoption radius will be considered. Please email leslieraybuck@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. His adoption fee is $250.
