Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Duke is a handsome 12 year old black and tan smooth dachshund who is 14 pounds of perfection and love! He has a gorgeous shiny smooth coat that makes you long to cuddle him forever.
Duke is a wonderful sweet submissive boy who gets along well with other dogs, cats and children over the age of 7 years. He is such a sweet boy. This handsome boy loves to sleep with blankies because he loves to burrow. Like all doxies he would love a big bed to snuggle with you in!
Duke is not particularly playful and prefers to snuggle. He does well on car rides and will even go outside and potty in the rain. He is a good boy at bath time. Duke is not a fussy eater but he will pretend he doesn’t like veggies until he is offered them and he will gladly eat them. At one time Duke had gotten very chubby and he is now svelte and healthy.
Duke is crate trained and leashed trained. His foster mom in Florida says he is a wonderful boy and anyone would be so lucky to adopt him.
Duke is such a good boy. He is house trained and will also use potty pads. He will follow his foster family outside and also ask to go out. Like all dogs, he will need to be confident in his environment to have good potty habits. All rescue dogs go thru a period of adjustment so understanding and patience is important.
