My story

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

Baxter: dob: 2/18/2010
adoption fee: $250(includes neuter, micro-chip, current on all yrly vax, current on all flea/tick, internal parasite and heart worm prevention, current health certificate).
Baxter was originally rescued in 2011, when his 1st owner broke her shoulder and could no longer care for her 3 dogs. Howlin4Spirit to the rescue!
Placed within a lovely home with 2 adults, who have since passed away from cancer, so was returned to Howlin4Spirit CARes to help BackStreet find his TRUE fur-EVER home/family.
A real snuggle-bum when the day has waned, walks well on-leash, housebroken & crate-trained(but prefers to sleep snuggled up against person). Gets along well with other small dogs. 
NO children under 10yo! Not that he doesn't like them, he just has never lived around children before.
MUST have secured fenced-in yard or live in an apt! NO electric fences! 
Will re-test with cats, upon request.
BackStreet is pretty independent so is quite laid-back and easy to LOVE! He has always had other dogs around, mostly females, but can hold his own interests well, on his own. GREAT 'CRITTER-GETTER'! He's your typical dachshund...bred to hunt critters, so expect him to be on the job, when he hears/sees a mouse/mole, etc. Happy to be with his people, when it's time to call it a day. Wants/needs to be an inside companion, NOT A YARD DOG!!!!!!​
