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.
Check out this little gem! Opal is a precious little 4 year old smooth dachshund recently released from a commercial breeding facility. This 10 lb girl has a sweet disposition and loves to snuggle. Although she is still a bit nervous and skittish from her past in the breeding industry, she's a happy little girl whose tail is always wagging. Her sweet personality and bright brown eyes will have you wrapped around her paw in no time.
When she's not in your lap, Opal enjoys spending time outside, exploring, rolling in leaves and barking at anything and everything. (She is definitely a dachshund.) She will need a securely fenced yard so she can continue to safely explore her surroundings. She also likes watching out the window and doing "neighborhood watch" with her foster brother. Opal is a vocal little gal, so if you're looking for a quiet dog, Opal is not your girl. As she has become more confident, she is showing a spunky side. She can definitely hold her own at the fence line barking at the neighbor's dog.
Opal is doing great with potty training as long as you take her outside regularly. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night and does well in her crate when you leave the home. She enjoys the company of her foster dachshund siblings and will need a small resident dog to help her settle into her new home. Since she's still a bit skittish around loud noises and sudden movements, no young children. Older, dog savvy kids should be fine.
Opal has been fully vetted. Due to lack of nutrition and proper vet care the first few years of her life, Opal has dental disease issues. She lost 11 teeth during her dental cleaning. Her teeth will need to be properly cared for, including annual dental cleanings, to keep both Opal and her mouth healthy. The good news, the loss of teeth has not affected her ability to eat. (Again, she is a dachshund.)
This snuggly but spirited little girl will be a fun addition to your family. Don't miss out on this precious gem. Apply today!
The suggested adoption donation for Opal 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
