Overview
Meet Landers, a devoted chocolate dachshund who’s looking for his special someone to love and protect.
Landers is an 8-year-old, 10lb chocolate sweetie who spent 5 long months at a shelter before finding his way to rescue. This little guy has so much love to give and is ready to shower his chosen person with cuddles and affection.
Environment
Landers needs a fenced yard to safely explore and play. He enjoys medium activity levels with short walks and playtime, though he’s still learning his leash manners. Due to marking behaviors, he’ll need to wear a belly band indoors—it’s a small accommodation for such a loving companion. He’s comfortable waiting in his crate when needed and does well for short periods alone.
Because Landers can be quite the chatty conversationalist, he’s not suited for homes with shared walls. He likes to vocalize his feelings, especially when people come and go!
Pets & People
Landers forms deep, loyal bonds and can be protective of his chosen human, which means he might bark when new people enter his space—it’s just his way of being a good guard dog! He tends to be possessive around the big bed where he loves to snuggle.
With other dogs, Landers does best with pups of similar age and size. He’s not quite right for homes with elderly or frail dogs, as he might not understand their limitations. He’s gentle with treats and food, showing his sweet nature.
Health
Landers has some sight limitations that don’t slow him down but are important to know about. He’s adapted well and just needs understanding adopters who can work with his special needs.
