Pebbles - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Jacksonville, Florida

Hi, I'm Pebbles! I'm a sweet little red gal who takes life one treat at a time — and trust me, I take my treats very seriously. I'm a bit of a slow burn when it comes to new people, but once you've earned my trust, I'm all in — snuggled up next to my foster dog siblings at bedtime and ready to be your shadow. I've had a rough go of it lately, but I'm tough, I'm healing, and I'm ready to find the people who'll give me the safe, steady life I deserve.

My Ideal Home
A home with a securely fenced yard is a must for me — I'm a bit of an escape artist and safety comes first. I do great with other dogs, older kids, and both men and women. I'd love a home where I can take my time warming up without being rushed.

A Few Important Things to Know

I'm an escape risk: I need a fenced yard and careful supervision around gates and doors — I will take the opportunity to explore if given the chance.
I'm shy at first: I'm skittish until I get to know you. I do best with a patient adopter who lets me come around on my own time rather than forcing interaction.

What I Bring to the Table
My foster family says once I trust you, I'm loyal, sweet, and love a good snuggle pile with my dog friends. I just need someone willing to go slow, keep me safe, and let me show them who I really am underneath the shyness. If that's you — I'm worth the wait.
