Dachshund and Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption

We thought Erni was a boy - which is how she got her name! It seems to suit so even though we discovered along the way that she is fact, a hermaphrodite, we kept it!

Erni came from a hoarding situation and is well versed in living with a lot of other dogs. She has no desire to be an only dog, but also does not need a lot of them. She would prefer another laid back dog in the house. She is less knowledgeable about being handled by people. She is not necessarily afraid, it's just not something she enjoys. She is not snuggly, but still follows us around, begs for snacks and wants to be with her people. Erni LOVES to play fetch! She will play fetch for hours. She also enjoys other toys.

While Erni does not want to snuggle or be your best friend, she does follow her foster mom around the house and is very happy when she comes home. She will want to be your dog's best friend, but is fine if the other dog wants space as well.

Erni is looking for a home with a solidly fenced yard. She is fine with cats. Erni uses both outside and potty pads and is about 90% potty trained. Chances are high she will not get much better but supervision and crate training are very helpful! Erni does walk on a leash.

Erni's adoption fee is $175 and comes with spay/neuter, vaccinations, vet well visit and microchip.
