Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption in Woolwich, Maine

Little Bro is an absolute doll of a pup who came into rescue when his owner passed away. He's currently here in Maine, in foster, and is quite a little character. He is mostly potty trained, when taken out regularly- he isn't quite sure how to show his people that he has to go. He's not a fan of being alone so likely would do well with another dog in the home or a family that is home more often than not. He likes to alert his people to the dangers outside such as the UPS man, so likely would do best in a single family setting. He sleeps all night and waits to be awoken by his foster- no early morning wake-ups for him! He loves to have his ball rolled to him but hasn't quite figured out the fetch part of the game. He hasn't been taught many commands, so his foster is working with him on that. He's only about 10 lbs at around 7 years old so he's very portable and he loves to sit in his human's lap and follow them around the house. He loves to go for long walks and sniff all the smells he can- we don't think that he was given the opportunity for many walks in his previous life. He would love to live with a human that will give him lots of time outside as he absolutely loves the outdoors. He's hoping for a family that will like a little sidekick and give him lots of love, attention, walks, and to know that he's safe and has found his forever home.
