Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption

Marshall (M)
ten lbs
Dachshund mix

Marshall is the macho man. He is rough and tough and always ready to play. His curious nature gets him in to trouble and as you correct him, don’t be surprised when he tries to persuade you with his puppy dog eyes and smothering you in kisses. He is a sucker for any type of toy and absolutely loves to snuggle. Holding him like a baby or just sitting with him on the couch, he will sleep for hours as long as you are by his side. His brindle coat, long ears and permanent pouty lip make him unique but his quirky personality is what makes him one of a kind.  Marshall is eager to please and will be the perfect addition to a patient family that is willing to be consistent with training. He is good with dogs and cats (comes on a little strong wanting to play), he is good with kids but he has a tendency to nip when he plays (going for your nose is his favorite) so he may be best suited for a family with older children. He is puppy pad trained and slept in the playpen all through the night.

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.
