My story

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

This beautiful little redhead is Miss Prissy Pinklady. Prissy is a 6 year old sweetie who became a DREAM Dachsie when she and nine other Dachshunds we called the "Grease Gang" were rescued from a breeder who was no longer able to care for them. She gets along fine with other dogs and would do best with a gentle natured male or female. She has spent her entire life being a mama dog, so now it’s her turn to be pampered. Prissy is very skittish to loud noise, but very sweet. She is not one to just sit in your lap, but she does want and loves affection. She will follow you everywhere and is content to sit next you. At night, when it’s time for bed, she will let me to pet and love on her, and that’s about the only time she allows me to freely pick her up.

She lets me bathe her, but I'm constantly reassuring her and talking to her in soothing voice. It takes time to earn her trust but once you do, you can then hold her and show her affection. She likes to snuggle with other dogs and generally has a low energy level. She is not leash trained and is very scared by everyday normal sounds that we are used to outside. These noises send her running for cover. Prissy would do well in a quiet forever home with a backyard, as she loves her time spent in the outdoors. A calm environment with little commotion and no young children would be the best for her.
