Ruff Ruff! My name is Owen

SEE VIDEO ALSO ON THIS PAGE!

Owen is a very handsome 2.5 year-old, male, red, pure-bred Dachshund. Weighing in at 15 pounds, he known as a “Tweenie,” which is the size in-between a Miniature Dachshund, and a standard-sized Dachshund. Owen is a loving, warm, sweet dog who is one of the quietest Dachshunds I have ever known. He rarely barks which is not common in Dachshunds. He should not be the only dog in the home or left alone for long periods, as he does have some separation anxiety, but he has improved GREATLY, it is manageable, and we can discuss that aspect further. A key point about Owen is that he is very well-behaved in the house. He is a great playmate to another dog; here at the rescue, he and Betsy run around and chase each other and also wrestle – a delight to watch!

Owen enjoys toys and chasing the ball. He walks well on the leash and rides well in the car. He is crate-trained, and is intermittently crated throughout the day and also sleeps quietly in his crate at night and enjoys a raw-hide chew before bedtime. Owen learned right away to use the doggie door. He is potty trained, however, I do afford him proper potty opportunities; in addition, there is a doggie door where he can go out at will. Potty reinforcement is suggested in any new environment. He is not a leg lifter in my home which is super nice. He is not a dominant dog in a dog pack. So if you are looking for a sweet and loving dog who can play with your other dog and also cuddle with the humans, Owen may be your guy!

The home we are seeking for Owen is one where there is another Dachshund or another dog to hang out with and be his friend. Someone who has Dachshund experience is a plus. I will consider Owen as the only dog in the home under certain exceptional circumstances.

Owen is neutered, de-wormed, vaccinated including rabies, and micro-chipped. If you are interested in Owen, please contact Angel’s Heart Dog Rescue at: adopt@angelsheartdogrescue.com.
