🐾 Meet Angel — A Sweet Little Dachshund Looking for Her Forever Home
Angel is a very sweet 13 lb, 9 yr old mini dachshund who is ready to find her new forever family. She has a wonderful temperament and loves everyone she meets. True to her dachshund nature, Angel adores burrowing under blankets and snuggling in close.

Angel is gentle, affectionate, and easy to love. She’s not a big barker, but she will bark when someone arrives or when you arrive home to greet you—so apartment living is not recommended, as her bark can be loud in close quarters.

She is housetrained, sleeps quietly through the night in her crate or dog bed, and would be thrilled to curl up in a human bed for extra cuddles. Angel is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet.

⚠ A Note on Behavior
Angel can be food aggressive when eating or when she’s comfortable and another dog gets too close to her space, she will growl. Because of this, she would do best as an only dog in her new home. Cats are unknown but she is not prey driven outside in the yard with wild birds, squirrels or chipmunks.

🏡 Ideal Home
Angel would thrive as the only dog, in a calm, loving home where she can soak up all the attention. She is a wonderful companion who wants nothing more than to be loved and cherished.

🩺 Veterinary Status
Angel is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and ready to join her new family. Adoption Fee: $500
