Beckett (Bonded with Malcolm) - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Sandy, Utah

Meet Beckett ("Becky")

Beckett, affectionately known as Becky, is an 11-year-old spayed female long-haired English Cream Dachshund with a sweet personality and a very special companion—her son, Malcolm. These two have spent their lives together and are a truly bonded pair, so Becky and Malcolm must be adopted together.

Becky is a loving girl who enjoys being outside, exploring the yard, and keeping an eye on the neighborhood squirrels. She and Malcolm may get quite vocal when those squirrels appear, so her ideal home is one that doesn't mind a little Dachshund enthusiasm! She is house-trained, comes when called, and takes treats very gently. Becky enjoys cuddling, being petted, and staying close to her people, and she and Malcolm can often be found curled up together in their bed.

Becky is adaptable and has done well with changes in routine. She enjoys having access to a fenced yard where she can explore, sniff, and keep herself entertained. She has shown some interest in exploring beyond the fence, so a secure fenced yard will be important in her new home. On walks, Becky generally walks nicely but can be vocal when she sees people or other dogs.

Becky and Malcolm would do best with a person or family who is home much of the time and has plenty of love and attention to give. They would prefer a quiet home without shared walls, such as an apartment, townhome, or patio home, since they can be enthusiastic barkers when greeting visitors or watching the world outside.

Becky is looking for a forever home where she and her son can grow old together. If you have room in your heart for two sweet senior Dachshunds, Becky and Malcolm may be the perfect pair for you!

Becky is currently being fostered in Westminster, Colorado.
