Overview

Meet Shadow, a sweet and well-behaved 2-year-old Dachshund mix looking for his forever home. This handsome little guy weighs 11 pounds and sports a sleek black coat. While his past is a mystery, his future is bright with the right family!

 

Environment

Shadow has a wonderful, balanced energy level - he loves to play fetch but knows his limits with those short legs of his! A fenced yard would be nice for this little guy as he loves to run around. While he's not a big barker, he might whine a bit if he can see you but can't reach you. He's doing great with house training and is even learning to ring a bell to ask to go outside.

 

Pets & People

This sweet boy does well with adults and is generally good with other dogs, though he might try to assert himself as top dog in a playful way. He's good with older children who understand dog boundaries, but would do better in a home without small children as he will communicate his discomfort if his space isn't respected. Shadow will let you know when visitors arrive, but he's not an excessive barker. He has a bit of a prey drive and will chase squirrels when given the chance, and like many of his breed, he enjoys a good digging session! Around food, he might try to sneak a taste but isn't food aggressive.

 

Training & Travel

Shadow is crate trained and can be left alone for a few hours without issue. For car rides, he gets anxious and prefers to be on someone's lap, so he should be crated for safe travel. Due to his car anxiety, we're looking for adopters within a reasonable driving distance.
