Dash - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Jacksonville, Florida

Hi, I'm Dash — and I've got exactly three requirements for a good life: a comfy spot in the bed, a lap to sit in, and someone to tell me I'm a good boy on a regular basis. I'm two years old, which means I've still got plenty of goofy puppy energy, but I'm also perfectly happy to just hang out on the couch with you. I love leashed walks, belly rubs, and being told how good I am (seriously, I never get tired of hearing it). I'm house trained, crate trained, and pretty easygoing about most things — except maybe skipping my nightly spot in the bed. That's non-negotiable.

My Ideal Home
Good with men, women, and other dogs — so I'd do great as an only dog or with a canine sibling. Someone who's up for walks and doesn't mind sharing the couch (and the bed).

A Few Important Things to Know

Watching my weight: I'm a healthy boy, but my vet mentioned I could use a little trimming. My new family should keep an eye on treats and make sure I'm getting regular walks.

What I Bring to the Table
I'm a young, healthy, easygoing guy who just wants to be near my person — on the couch, in the bed, on a walk, doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you. I get along with other dogs, I'm already trained on the basics, and I've got a whole lot of love saved up for whoever says yes to me. If you're looking for a low-drama, high-cuddle sidekick, I'm your dog.
