Meet
Louie!
Just like our favorite local hot dog joint, this little wiener dog is ready to soak up
all
the attention this summer. Louie came to us from the city shelter after being surrendered and struggling there — but once he landed in his foster home, he absolutely blossomed.

About Louie

Louie is approximately 4 years old, weighs around 12 pounds, and is every bit the classic Dachshund: affectionate, silly, loyal, and full of personality. He warms up quickly to new people and loves to be the center of attention. If you’re looking for a little shadow who wants to be part of everything you do, Louie is your guy.

He loves toys, treats, walks, car rides — truly, if it involves fun or being near his person, Louie is all in. His big brown eyes and wagging tail (with the cutest white tip!) make him impossible not to love.

Personality & Behavior

Louie is very affectionate and eager to please. He loves to cuddle, burrow, and curl up right next to you. He follows his foster mom everywhere — whether she’s cooking, watching TV, or relaxing outside, Louie is happily trotting along.

He is:

Leash trained

House trained - Please expect an adjustment period

Doing well with crate practice (not fully crate trained, but tolerates it when needed)

Good overnight and sleeps through the night

Dog friendly and would enjoy a canine friend (not required)

His foster home does not have cats, so his reaction to them is unknown. Louie would do best in a home with no children or children 13+, as he prefers a calmer environment.

A fully fenced yard is ideal for this little explorer, but not required.

He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $600, which helps support the medical needs of our long‑term dogs. ❤ï ̧

We require that a martingale collar be used at the time of adoption. If you do not have a martingale collar, you can purchase one from Pixie Mamas for an additional $10. This requirement is in place to ensure the dog's safety and security.

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.
