No Name Yet (cc7274) - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in West Orange, New Jersey

Hmmm, what should we call him? 'Short-Stuff' (Short, Doxie like legs), 'Ducky' (front feet point out like a duck)... We haven't settled on anything yet. We'll come up with something - unless he's adopted quickly - which could very well happen. He's such a cute little dog!! He seems very well behaved, and he loves people.

This little one came in as a stray and was held longer than usual before being made available for adoption because we truly believed there would be a family come looking - but we were totally flabbergasted when no one called and no one came. He's really sweet so we know he was loved and cuddled, but then why don't come looking???

This little one, about the size of a dachshund, is now looking for a new home and is available for adoption. Look at that face.... how could anyone resist,
