Dachshund and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Saugus, Massachusetts

Can you believe this little guy was found in a DUMPSTER?!

Meet Dexter — a 1 yo/19 lb Dachshund mix with the cutest face and an even sweeter personality. Despite his rough start, Dexter is all about moving forward and living his best life.

Cat tested and previously fostered with cats
Loves playing with other dogs
Fun, happy, and full of personality
The perfect small-medium size at just 19 lbs
Absolutely adorable (just look at him!)

Dexter can be vocal in his crate while adjusting to a new environment, so apartment living isn't the best fit for him. He just needs a little time, some patience, and a comfy spot to call his own, and he'll reward you with endless love and entertainment.

It's hard to imagine how this sweet boy ended up abandoned in a dumpster, but we're focused on giving him the happy ending he deserves.

The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
