Wirehaired Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption in Gainesboro, Tennessee

Meet Dinky
15 years young Under 20 lbs Gentle senior gentleman
Hello, friends. My name is Dinky, and even though they say I'm 15, I sure don't feel old. I'm a happy little lad with a big heart and a lot of love left to give.
My life changed recently.
My daddy passed away, and my mommy had to move into an apartment where I wasn't allowed to go. I didn't understand any of it - I just knew I suddenly needed a new place to belong.
I still have my manly bits, and the doctors say I'm too old for that surgery now. I don't mind... I'm just living my little life.
Because my previous family didn't take me to the vet very often, I needed a big dental cleaning when I arrived. I lost quite a few teeth, but don't you worry - I still crunch my hard kibble like a champ. That canned stuff is icky anyway.
My Personality
I love cats and dogs of all sizes
I enjoy a good run if I slip out the door, but I always come back
Barn cats are especially fun to chase
I take a little time to warm up to new humans, but once I trust you, I'm loyal and loving
I can hop in and out of chairs like a pro and love to curl up and watch the world go by
At night, I start out sleeping at the foot of the bed, then I hop down to snooze beside my foster brother - a BIG standard poodle. He makes me feel safe.
What I'm Hoping For
My foster mommy is wonderful, and I love her very much... but I'm dreaming of a quiet, gentle forever home where I can enjoy my retirement in peace. I adore cuddles, car rides, and being close to my people.
I'm not a fan of the doctor's office - every time I go, something unpleasant happens like shots or dental work - but I'm a brave boy and I try my best.
If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet senior who just wants to be loved, please consider me. I would be so proud to call you my new mommy or daddy.
