Overview

Looking for a spirited companion who's ready to wag her way into your heart? Ryce Puddin' might be the perfect addition to your family.

Ryce Puddin' is a gorgeous long-haired chocolate and tan piebald dapple miniature dachshund who weighs 13 lbs and is about 7 years old. She came to Little Paws when her previous owner had to move to a smaller place and worked long hours—they wanted someone with more time to shower her with the love and attention she deserves.

This sweet girl's tail is always wagging, especially when it's time for walks or meals. She's an active, happy little doxie who radiates pure joy at the simple pleasures in life.

Environment

Ryce Puddin' has a medium activity level and loves her daily walks and playtime. She's working on her potty training and does well going outside, though she still has occasional accidents indoors. She tries to use the pads but hasn't quite mastered them yet. A fenced yard would be wonderful for helping her complete her outdoor potty training journey, though it's not required if you're committed to regular walks.

This girl absolutely loves her crate—it's her happy place! She'll go in on her own at bedtime and when you step out. Her previous owner crated her for up to 12 hours, so she's comfortable being alone, though we'd love to see her in a home where someone can spend more time with her. Because she's quite active for her age and loves to jump on and off furniture, she should be crated or in a playpen when left alone to keep her safe.

This food-motivated girl loves her meals and treats! At breakfast and dinner, she waits patiently for her bowl with her tail wagging in pure happiness. She's very food motivated, which will make training a breeze, and she takes treats gently without being snatchy—though she'll definitely let you know she'd like more.

Ryce Puddin' is a champion walker who loves her leash adventures. She's quiet enough for homes with shared walls and travels well in the car.

Pets & People

Ryce Puddin' is wonderful with people of all ages and does great with kids—her foster home has two boys aged 8 and 14 whom she adores. That said, she's not a fan of constant running and will bark if children are racing around the house, so she'd be best with calmer kids who can appreciate her sweet nature.

When meeting new people, she may bark initially but warms up within minutes once she's had a chance to sniff and get acquainted. 

With other dogs, Ryce Puddin' has some preferences. She's not a fan of large dogs—she pulls and barks when she sees bigger pups. She does much better with small, calm dogs. In her foster home, she took a little time to warm up to her foster sister (a 12-year-old terrier mix) but now they're good friends who go on walks together. She also loves her tiny dachshund foster sister Izzy, and they sometimes snuggle together. She's been fine with most of the foster home's visiting dogs, though she did grumble at a Pug who got too close. 

Ryce Puddin' does not like cats and has a strong prey drive, so a cat-free home is a must but in a cat-like twist to her personality: she's not particularly cuddly, she appreciates affection but on her own terms.

6 Step Adoption Process

1) Application - (While we encourage you to let us know on your application if one of our dogs has captured your interest, we use this simply as a guide for matching and your listing of specific dog in no way implies claim to this particular dog)

NOTE: Adoption Applications expire 6 months from the date of receipt. If you have already submitted an Adoption Application and it has been longer than 6 months, you will need to fill out a new Adoption Application.

2) Reference Checks - All references will be checked prior to home visit. We will contact your current vet, if you have one, for a reference.

3) Application Review - Processor reviews the application, calls the vet if you have one, verifies vaccinations and spay/neuter. We email personal references (if email is provided) or call them if necessary. Email is best since as references can respond when they are available.

4) Home Visit - A volunteer will come to your home to visit with you and discuss care of dachshunds. Also, the volunteer will look for any potential problems and check to be sure that your fencing is secure. Your home visit does not mean you have been approved.

5) Approval - After the above steps have been completed all your information will be reviewed and a decision will be made about adoption. If at this point you are approved to adopt, LPDR will help guide you to the appropriate dog for your family.

6) Contract - For the protection of the dogs we place, everyone that adopts a dachshund from LPDR will be required to sign an adoption contract.

Go meet their pets

Are you looking for an opportunity to foster a dachshund? Fostering is our transitional step from a shelter/surrender to a forever home. During this time it’s important that we give each dachshund a safe environment where it can learn to trust again, to heal and to learn how to become a loving family member. Many of the dachshunds that we pull from shelters or receive from an owner surrender just need a temporary home until their new forever home can be found. Please go to our website (www.LittlePawsDR.org) to learn more.

More about this rescue

Little Paws Dachshund Rescue is a foster-based, non-profit animal rescue that specializes in finding permanent homes for dachshunds, dachshund mixes, and other small dogs. It is LPDR’s goal to identify abandoned, mistreated, or homeless dogs and oversee their treatment and well being while working to find loving owners for those in our care. We strive to make the lives of all dogs better through action, advocacy, awareness and education.
