Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Granite is a handsome 8 year old, 13 pound long hair black and tan dapple boy who is looking for love. Granite would like a home with a fenced yard and people with time to lavish him with attention. Granite loves toys and makes his own special toy pile in his foster home!
Granite (known as Coffee in his foster home in Florida) is frisky and energetic. He loves to go for walks, and is well leash trained. Granite sleeps in the big bed with his foster parents and would like a home where he can continue to have big bed privileges. Granite loves to go out into the yard and spend time playing and enjoying sniffs. Granite does bark and would do best in a home where his people were home most of the time.
Granite gets along well with other dogs (especially dachshunds) and would do well with respectful children over the age of 8 years. Granite has not been tested with kitties. Granite is obsessed with water and MUST be watched constantly around any body of water as he will jump in and his swimming skills are not strong. Any home for Granite must either be pool free or have a fully secured pool area.
Granite is very well house trained. Like all dachshunds he will need to be confident in their environment to have good potty habits. All rescue dogs go thru a period of adjustment so understanding and patience is important. Granite is crate trained and will tolerate it for up for 2 hours.
Little Granite is looking for a home with love, time and loving arms to give him cuddles. Apply to adopt this wonderful boy home today!
