Dachshund and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Saugus, Massachusetts

Meet Cricket

Nope, she doesn't chirp all night or hop across the lawn... but she will bounce her way right into your heart.

Cricket is a 6-7 month old tiny sweetheart -- only @10 lbs--- with the cutest little face and a soft, gentle personality that makes everyone fall for her instantly.

She may be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, she's all about cozy snuggles, following her people around, and soaking up love from her dog friends.

This adorable girl is thriving in foster care with other dogs and would absolutely love a friendly canine buddy in her forever home. Cricket is learning all the important puppy things day by day and doing such a great job.

If you're looking for a tiny best friend who will quietly steal your heart and become your little sidekick, Cricket is your girl

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 terrier is a spirited and intelligent dog breed known for its feisty personality and boundless energy. Terriers come in various sizes and coat types, but they all share a common heritage as fearless and determined hunters. These dogs are typically highly trainable, making them versatile companions for active individuals and families alike. With their loyalty and playful demeanor, terriers are beloved for their endless enthusiasm and affectionate nature.
