My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Spring, and I am a Dachshund/Jack Russell Terrier mix. I am told I am approximately 5 years old, but I am a puppy at heart! I LOVE my squeaky toys, and I love them even more when you play with me. I like going for walks, and I am great on a leash. My foster mom says I have to be on a leash at all times because she thinks I have a fascination with other animals and people. I will bark at strangers and other animals, but it's really just because we haven't been properly introduced. It only took me a few hours to warm up to my canine foster sisters, but now we play together! I took to my foster mom like glue! She called me her shadow for the first week I was with her. I don't follow her around so much anymore now that I am comfortable in her house, but I do try to talk sometimes. She calls me her little Dino because she says I sound like a dinosaur. I do admit, I am a little bit raspy, but that's just me.
I like being outside in the fresh air where I can sunbathe, patrol the fence, and stare at the squirrels in the trees. I only bark at them because they are such show-offs jumping from branch to branch and they won't play with me! I am always quiet outside until the neighbor dog barks at me through the fence (he barks at everything, even the wind), so naturally, I bark back at him.
I LOVE to be inside too. Every time I come in the house from being outside, I have to check on my human foster sister. When I find her in her swing, I give her a kiss on her arm. I am housebroken, and I will sit by the door to let you know when I really need to go potty. I go potty several times a day, so the longer days are a little hard on me. I like to sit on the top of the back of couch. Maybe it's because I am so short, but I like to sit up high so I can see everything. At nighttime, I like to cuddle with my humans. I am usually content just laying next to you on the bed, but if it starts to get chilly, I am the first to volunteer to be your personal undercover heater!
I am up-to-date on my vaccinations, HW negative, and already spayed! I love car rides, so I am looking forward to my ride up north! All I need is a cozy home when I get there! Could it be yours?


An update from Spring's northern foster mom:
Spring loves to snuggle, loves walks, is good with dogs and people. One thing we have noticed is that she loves to sleep in the bed with you, preferably under the covers :o)

She is a very loveable little dog who loves to be near you. She comes when you call her and is working on other commands. However, with a bit of patience and guidance and treats it should be easy to teach. She loves treats so it should be fairly easy and fun to teach her those things.
