Overview

 

Meet Fred, a happy-go-lucky 2-year-old red smooth-haired dachshund who’s ready to be someone’s best buddy. If you’re looking for a sweet guy who will always greet you as though you’ve been gone forever, this could be your man. 

 

Environment

 

Fred is completely house-trained and adaptable to different living situations. While he’d enjoy a yard, it’s not required. Fred has a strong prey drive—he’s reportedly caught a rabbit and will chase neighborhood cats and dig for moles—so if he has a yard it will need to be fenced, and he should be walked securely. 

He’s happy to go in his crate when asked but would love nothing more than to sleep on the bed with his person. Fred can be chatty when he hears noises or other dogs are barking, overall he is generally pretty chill but shared walls would not be ideal. He loves dogs and would do best with a companion to play with.

 

Pets & People

 

Fred has loved everyone he’s met and immediately greets adults with affection. He is also good with children. He absolutely loves all dogs—he gets along with both his foster family’s 60-pound Weimaraner and 8-pound dachshund/pin mix. On walks, he barks at other dogs, but it’s a friendly, excited bark. Fred is gentle around food and likes to take breaks during meals to explore before returning to finish eating. He does like to sample other dogs’ food bowls, so he should be supervised during mealtimes in multi-dog homes.
