Overview

If you’re looking for a snuggly best friend to enjoy life with, we’ve got just the pup for you! Meet Clark, a handsome 10 yr old longhaired dachshund! At 19 lbs Clark is a tweenie who is long on love, a true Velcro dog who is happy to do just about anything as long as he’s doing it with you!

Environment

Clark needs a home where his humans are home most of the time as he experiences separation anxiety and doesn't like to be left alone for long periods. He is used to sleeping in his crate at night but is not used to being crated during the day. Apartment living isn't ideal for him as he will bark and softly howl when left alone. Clark is somewhat weewee pad trained, but in a new environment will have accidents, and his new family will need to help him acclimate and give him a refresher on potty training. He is happy to do his business outside in a yard if given plenty of time to sniff out the right spot without distractions. Because Clark is an older gentleman, he can sometimes be a bit grumpy and needs to be handled with care, for this reason he will need to be placed in a home without children.

Pets & People

Clark is friendly with other small dogs and has no problem sharing his humans or his toys with them. He will sometimes guard his food or try to steal food from the other dogs in the home however, so he will need to be separated at mealtimes. While Clark enjoys the company of other dogs, he has been an only pet his whole life and would be perfectly happy to be your solo companion! Clark will form a strong attachment to one person in the home, but he will also accept pets and love from the spare members of the household. In his original home he was protective of his owners and would growl at strangers who entered the house, so he will need to be introduced to visitors slowly and with care.

Location

Clark is available for adoption from Jackson Heights, NY. He does well in the car so he can be transported within reason.
