Dax (AP26-02) - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Peyton, Colorado

Dax is a 7-year-old, 11-pound Dachshund with a sweet personality and a big love for attention. He is happiest when he can be surrounded by his people and included in the day-to-day routine of his home. If you're looking for a little companion who wants to be close by, Dax may be your guy!

Dax prefers the calm life and thrives when he knows what to expect. He does best with a consistent routine that helps him feel comfortable and secure. While he may be small, Dax has definitely found his voice, which means apartment living isn't his favorite. A quieter home where his vocal nature is less likely to be an issue would be a better fit.

Dax gets along well with other dogs and requires another dog in the home to help him feel confident, comfortable, and secure. He does not enjoy the company of cats, so a feline-free home is a must. Dax would also do best in a home without young children, where he can enjoy a peaceful environment and plenty of one-on-one attention.

If you're ready to give this sweet little Dachshund the routine, companionship, and loving home he needs, Dax is ready to meet you! A meet and greet at the shelter is required to ensure Dax and his potential family are a good fit.

Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life. Skills such as house training, leash walking, and handling may require continued practice. Progress will vary by individual dog. Homes with older children are often a good fit, depending on temperament. To learn more about NMDR and our adoption process, please visit our website.
