Simon - Dachshund and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Shakopee, Minnesota

Hello everyone, my name is Simon. Im about as cute as they come!! I seem to be a low rider- little legs like a Doxi. My foster mom doesnt know what I am, other than that Im a 100% cute boy.

If youre looking for a fun, loving lap dog, cuddler, and silly little guy, that's me!

Im working hard on mastering my skills on a leash and Im doing quite well. Im also working on potty training, and my foster parents say Im making progress, but I still need some encouragement because I am still a baby. Im very treat-motivated, so thats helping me. Im learning some basic commands like sit, stay, and down. I know that with treats and consistency, I can master these skills as well. I love squeaky toys of all sizes. My favorite time of the day is my chow time, and my foster mom loves watching me eat. Sometimes, she plays the song You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive, and I show her my moves as I spin around my slow feeder bowl.

I do great in the crate overnight and during the day when my foster parents are gone. My foster sister often lays in a bed by my kennel, watching over me. I like to run and chase with her in the backyard. Shes really teaching me the ropes of being a dog.

Id love for my future family to have a fenced-in backyard so I can run and play. Having a four-legged friend would be a bonus, but its not a requirement because Im self-sufficient with play time and toys.

I look forward to meeting you! I hope to hear from you soon.

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.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
