Name: Shawn
Age: 1 year
Color: Blonde
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male
Size: Mini – 11 lbs.

Shawn is a little less than 100% dachshund, but don't ever tell him that. He won't believe you. When we rescued Shawn from the shelter, we weren’t sure if he would live or die. He was so sick with pneumonia and bronchitis, that all he did was sleep day and night with brief periods of eating or going outside to potty. But all that is past now. Shawn made a full recovery and is very healthy now.

Shawn was abused in his previous home by teenage boys. (Then dumped in the shelter for biting them.) For this reason, he is very shy and dislikes/distrusts men and will not warm up to them. To his credit, however, he gets along just fine with women, and small dogs, but he needs a non-alpha female dachshund companion. He likes going for walks and likes to go for a ride in the car. He is house trained, crate trained, and dog-door savvy.

Shawn’s vaccinations are all up-to-date. He loves to play with toys, and will fetch his tennis ball as long as you can stand there and throw it over and over again for him. He is definitely a lap dog. Of course, it almost goes without saying that Shawn must sleep in the big bed with his person. He loves to be cuddled. He truly enjoys the comforts of home.

We are looking for a ladies-only household, someone who wants a small dachshund who is extremely loving and affectionate. Due to Shawn’s previous abuse, we will not place him a home with any male family members. Resident children must be female and at least 12 years old for their safety as well as his. No babies or toddlers either. We do not know if he is cat-safe.
