Def Leppard is a 6 month old Dachshund mix (7.5 pounds) who can’t wait to book his permanent residency stop at his new home! This handsome man toured around the local shelters until we scooped him up and promised him we’d find him the best new people to serve as his back-up band. What could be better than a 2-for-1 combo of a new furry best friend AND a rockstar? We don’t know, because we have Def!
Def Leppard has a true rock star persona! Nothing phases this outgoing, confident, and loving dude. He immediately makes himself at home in any new environment, showing love and affection to all he meets. He truly adores his people above all else and spends his days dreaming of fun adventures in store for him! Def would love a home who wants a forever companion to do everything with, as he is so friendly he can go just about anywhere. While he is still learning more about the outside world, he takes comfort in his people showing him the way. With that being said, Def is a couch potato at the end of a long day and would love to snuggle for a movie marathon! Def is so cute and loveable, it is impossible to resist falling in love with his big puppy dog eyes when you meet him.
Def wakes up around 7 AM for a long stretch before breakfast. After he eats, he heads outside for a walk where he sniffs and goes potty. During the day, Def hangs out inside while his foster people work. He is great at keeping himself occupied with naps, toys, snuggles, and treats. He loves scrunchy toys that make noise and delights in playing solo catch. He gets another longer walk in the afternoon and loves saying hi to his neighborhood buddies! Dinner is at 6 PM before a long snuggle session on the couch. Nothing but the best for this rockstar! After one last potty session, Def heads to his crate for bedtime at 9 PM and snoozes the night away.
Def Leppard gets along with dogs of all ages and sizes. He would do well with a canine companion as a sibling or could be a solo act. Def is working on his training and leash walking skills and would benefit from continued training lessons and socialization. For those looking for a loyal companion, you won’t find better than Def.
Def Leppard is only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the past, even if that experience is less recent. Kids in the home should be over the age of 10.
