Dale - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Jacksonville, Florida

Hi, I'm Dale — and I run on two settings: zoomies and cuddles. I'm a laid-back little dude with the softest smooth coat you've ever felt, and I am full of kisses. One minute I'm curled up in your lap like the world's sleepiest puppy, the next I've got a squeaky toy in my mouth and boundless puppy energy to burn. I love playing with my sister (Chip - She's available for adoption too!), other dogs, and kids, and treats are basically my love language. I'm still figuring out this whole house training thing, but I'm a fast learner and I've got a lot of heart to make up for it.

My Ideal Home
I'm good with cats, dogs, kids of all ages, and everybody in between — so I'm pretty flexible. A family with a playmate (another pup or an active household) would make my whole world, since I love having someone to zoom around with. Patience for puppy training is a must.

A Few Important Things to Know

House training: Still in progress — I need a family willing to stick with consistent training as I learn the ropes.
Puppy energy: I've got a lot of it. I do best with people ready for playtime, exercise, and the occasional puppy chaos.

What I Bring to the Table
I'm young, I'm affectionate, and I've got my whole life of love ahead of me to give to the right family. If you want a cuddly shadow who also knows how to have a blast, I'm your guy. Let's grow up together.

If you know I'm your forever pup, fill out an adoption application at daretorescue.org/adoption-application — and don't forget to put my name on your application!
