Overview

Penny is an 18-month-old, 9 lb black and tan shorthair Dachshund who loves all people and is full of sweet energy. She thrives when spending time with her humans, quickly adapting to household routines, and bringing lots of affection and playfulness wherever she goes.

Environment

Penny does best in a home with a secure, fenced yard where she can safely explore. Due to her chatty nature and vocal excitement, she is not suitable for living arrangements with shared walls (such as apartments or townhomes). She is comfortable sleeping in her crate or hanging out in it during the day.

Pets & People

Penny loves everyone she meets, including kids, and greets people with tail wags and licks. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and requires a resident dog playmate in her forever home. However, she should not be placed in a home with cats due to her strong prey drive.

Health & Special Needs

Penny is in good health with no reported medical issues. She has a lively prey drive and loves tracking or digging for moles, so close monitoring near fence lines is recommended to ensure she stays within the yard. She rides well in the car when crated.
