My story

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

THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED.

Willa is an absolutely adorable 4 yr old miniature wirehaired dachshund that was recently released from a commercial breeding facility. This petite girl weighs in at 9 lbs and is cute as a bug! Willa is finding that life outside the breeding industry is pretty awesome. Although she can be a bit anxious at first, once she trusts you, she is the sweetest little girl that enjoys spending time with her human, playing with toys and going on walks.

Willa gets along well with other small dogs. She likes to play with them and will even initiate play, but does best with dogs her size that are not aggressive or overly energetic. If they're too aggressive or energetic, she gets overwhelmed. She will need a small resident dog to help her transition to life in a home.

Willa is working on potty training, but it's still a work in progress. She needs frequent trips outside and a securely fenced yard to help facilitate her potty training. She isn't fond of the rain or cold weather (she is a dachshund!), so she will need sweaters, consistency and patience.

Willa does well in her crate at night, but she does have some separation anxiety. She will do best with someone home more than gone. She needs to build up confidence to help with her anxiety. Socialization activities to build up her confidence such as walks and playdates will help her come out of her shell and show off her fun side.

This happy little lovebug is ready for her happily ever after! Apply to adopt Willa today!

The suggested adoption donation for Willa is a minimum of $600 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.

Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information
