Meet Charlie: A Colorful Pup With a Candy-Coated Personality 🍬
***Charlie has very specific emotional and behavioral needs, so please read his entire bio before applying to adopt.***
-Breed: Smooth Chocolate Double Dapple Miniature Dachshund
-Age: 1.5 years (Born on Halloween! October 31, 2023)
-Size: Small but full of spunk
-Health: Fully vetted, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention
Born on Halloween, Charlie is as full of treats and tricks as you'd expect! With his striking double dapple coat and bright, expressive eyes (one is partially blue!), this little guy is bursting with personality—and he’s ready to find a forever home as special as he is.
Charlie had a tough start, rescued from a commercial breeding facility. He was later adopted but returned when his big emotions and high energy became too much for his first home to manage. That’s where his story begins again—with a second chance and a fresh start.
🧡 What Makes Charlie Special
Charlie is a cuddler at heart. He adores people, seeks out affection, and has a playful, silly side that’s endlessly entertaining. He’s potty trained, though he might tinkle a little if he gets too excited—it’s part of his over-the-top charm!
He loves going on walks and exploring, but his enthusiasm can take over. With treats and firm guidance, he does well, but if you lose focus, Charlie’s ready to turn your calm stroll into a full-on sprint and barkfest. A leash, a plan, and some yummy bribes go a long way.
⚠️ What Charlie Needs
Charlie feels deeply—especially when it comes to fear. If cornered or overwhelmed, he can react with defensive aggression. He’s not mean, just a dog who learned early on that sometimes the best defense is a loud offense. He needs an adopter who’s dog-savvy, patient, and attentive to his signals.
With other dogs, Charlie is hit or miss. He tends to mirror the energy around him: calm dog, calm Charlie; excitable or confrontational dog, and Charlie will try to take control of the situation. A mellow canine companion could be a great match, with proper intros and supervision.
🏡 The Right Home for Charlie
Charlie is looking for:
*A calm, experienced home (no small kids)
*A person who can commit to his emotional growth
*Structured walks, continued training, and lots of cuddles
*A securely fenced yard
*No cats
*Someone who sees past the challenges and into the heart of a dog who wants to be understood
Charlie is a diamond in the rough—a dog with a whole lot of personality, love, and life to give. If you're the kind of person who believes in second chances, who loves a challenge and celebrates small victories, Charlie is ready to meet you.

The suggested adoption donation for Charlie is a minimum of $300 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
