My story

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

Mickey has been part of our family since 2019, when we adopted him as an adult dachshund through a breed-specific rescue. He has lived with us in urban homes, settled easily into daily routines, and become a deeply bonded, affectionate companion. He is 13 and relatively healthy for his age.

We are making the heartbreaking decision to rehome Mickey because he is unpredictable and aggressive toward our children. This was safely managed for the last 2.5 years through separation and careful routines, but the recent arrival of our second child has made the dynamic too challenging. Our goal is to place him in a quiet, adults-only home where he is the only dog (or maybe joining another dachshund or small dog). We’d love to keep in infrequent touch with his new family if you’re open to it.

Please note that Mickey has a history of nipping unfamiliar adults and children (0-2 incidents per year). He has no issues with adults he knows including his many walkers and sitters over the years.
