Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Gilligan, a very active senior boy who wants to be your snuggle buddy. Gilligan does not act his age. He loves to go on walks, meander in the yard and play with toys. Gilligan is a talker; he will let you know when he wants attention and a belly rub. He has lived with other dachshunds and is friendly to other small dogs he meets on his walks. Gilligan is not so sure about the big dogs, and he is okay with cats. He’s happy to meet new humans and he grew up with teenagers. Gilligan is housebroken, and is being successfully trained to not mark in the house. Gilligan is food aggressive, so he needs someone who is experienced with this issue. He’s heart worm negative, up-to-date on his shots, neutered and recently had a dental cleaning. Gilligan is in great shape. He’s a trim 12.5 pounds and has no trouble getting around or jumping onto the couch to be next to you – not that we encourage that! Gilligan isn’t crate trained and prefers to not be penned in. We are training him to sleep in a cozy dog bed instead. Gilligan’s family lost their home and could not keep him. He has many years of love and play left to give. Gilligan would love to be your forever companion.
