Leo cute dachshund - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Russiaville, Indiana

Meet Leo!

Leo is a 4 year old Dachshund mix weighing around 15 pounds. He is crate trained, potty trained, and good with most cats and other dogs! Likes kids from afar but needs a home without children.

Leo absolutely adores car rides, walks, basking in the sun, following his nose, napping on the couch, and going on adventures! Leo also has some pretty strong feelings against being brushed and takes seriously his role as "fun police" with anyone in the house being too loud/rough.

And now for the not so fun part. Leo came from a background of being absolutely spoiled.... so he's a bit of a jerk. He has a strong personality, partly due to the Dachshund breed, and needs a handler that understands tough behavior. He will need lifelong upkeep of his behavioral quirks in order to continue to grow and improve. He's come such a long way in his foster home! But it takes daily work and time spent specifically on his training.

He has been in his foster home for about 1.5 months and has made huge improvements. He is peacefully living with a pack of four other dogs (all sizes), a couple clawed cats, and three rowdy older children. This is not his ideal household however the improvement gained here shows great hope that he will absolutely flourish once he's finally found the right environment. He has always been greatly loved and is so worth the effort!
