Shepherd and Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet THOMAS!

As of May 8, 2026, he is ~11 lbs and 3 months old. We do not know his breed but he has Rottie/Shepherd colors and (it's hard to tell from the photos) but his legs are shoter for his body. This is fairly typical of a number of mixed breeds from Puerto Rico - stumpy little legs and long bodies. Perhaps he's a Shepherd/Rottweiler/Dachshund!

He is very happy and friendly and gets along with other dogs well!

He’d be great with kids and cats given his age and sweet demeanor.

He has seen a veterinarian and is appropriately vaccinated. He’s ready to go!

***Thomas is currently being fostered in Puerto Rico and will only fly to his forever home once adopted! We can easily arrange a flight into JFK/EWR/BLD/BWI/IAD/DCA/PHL and many many more. We are open to adopters in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Please don't hesitate to ask us if we will ship to your location. We also organize all in-cabin flights to the mainland U.S. - it's an easy process!***

Please feel free to email us with any questions about her! We are a small boutique rescue and respond promptly. Your email will not get lost!

We strive for our dogs to be adopted into the right home. The best fit for the dog is our priority.

Please make sure you are ready to properly exercise and give a dog all it needs for fulfillment. Your ongoing time and day-to-day commitment are the most important things in caring for a dog.

In addition, we cannot guarantee breed of any dog, exact age or expected adult size of a puppy. Please note that even house-trained dogs will need help transitioning to an adopter's home and schedule. Thank you for understanding.

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 shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
