Dachshund puppies and dogs in Connecticut

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Cosmo, an adorable wire haired Dachshund puppy with a heart as big as his personality! Cosmo came to us as an owner surrender after being found near death. At first, we feared he was suffering from parvovirus, but it turned out he was experiencing a severe case of hypoglycemia caused by poor nutrition and a lack of appetite. We rushed him and his friend who he came in with, Twinkle, to our vet for hospitalization. Thanks to the care he received, Cosmo has made an incredible recovery and has completely bounced back into the happy, playful puppy he was always meant to be. Cosmo is as sweet as they come. He loves spending time with people, enjoys playing with other dogs and his toys, and is always ready for fun. Like any young puppy, Cosmo is still learning the ropes and will need continued training, patience, and consistency.  Cosmo's adoption fee is $500. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. If you're ready to give this resilient little guy the loving forever home he deserves, please apply at www.adoggie4you.org. We are located in Texas, and transport is available for an additional $250 to Washington, Portland (OR), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington (KY), and along the East Coast. Please note that transport is not available to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 2, 2026, 3:41 pm

Welcome Annabelle to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 20-pound sweet Dachshund/Havanese is our best guess. She has a curly coat and curly hair on her tail. She is about 5 months old. She is very sweet. She was found on the streets. She doesn’t jump up, is good with other dogs, good in a kennel, very non reactive around lots of dogs and a busy shelter. She is a very mellow and lower energy dog. She is what we call “perfect” temperament in Rescue. Since she is relatively quiet, she would be fine in a condo, apartment or shared wall situation. She is sturdy and would make a great walking companion. She won’t need lots of walks or exercise to be happy. She is getting spayed soon and is topping up and getting her vaccinations. She could go to a moderately to lower active family. She would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

    Marli Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: medium Potty training: trained Fenced yard: preferred, not required Shared walls: suitable People: older children and adults Dogs: all Other: bite history, needs experienced home Overview Looking for a calm, easygoing senior gentleman to share your couch with? Meet Marli, an 8-year-old purebred miniature dachshund weighing 13 pounds, with a beautiful long, cream piebald coat. Marli came to Little Paws after a bite incident that his foster describes as a case of him being misunderstood rather than aggressive by nature. In his foster home, he has been calm, quiet, and easy to care for, the kind of sweet dog who just wants a comfortable spot and people who understand him. One of his favorite little rituals is rolling around in his bed after every walk. Environment Marli is fully house and pad trained and doesn't need a crate, which he isn't a fan of anyway. He genuinely craves his walks now and does great on a leash; he used to try to slip out of his harness but has long since outgrown that habit. A yard would be nice but isn't required, and he's a quiet, easy housemate for a home with shared walls. As long as he has some canine friends and access to the couch, he's content for a few hours on his own. Pets & People Marli does get nervous around new people at first, but he opens up fairly quickly and loves to cuddle with anyone willing to show him affection. He's done well with his foster's sons, ages 9 and 14, and given his bite history, he'll do best in a home with older children or adults who can read his cues and give him space when he needs it. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and lights up on group walks with his canine friends. He's gentle with treats, though mealtime can be a slower process since he's used to having his bowl available to graze throughout the day rather than eating on a schedule. Health & Special Needs Marli was previously prescribed trazodone, an anti-anxiety medication. His new family will want to check in with a vet about whether any anxiety support is needed going forward. He can be restless and fidgety in the car, so a calm, reassuring approach to travel will help him settle. Location Marli is available for adoption from Miami, FL. Pleased note: Marli does not like the car. Please email applications@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Marley is $325.00.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 2, 2026, 1:12 pm

Welcome Cosmo to CCPAL Rescue. Cosmo is an Dachshund/Beagle is our best guess. He is about 18 pounds now and should be small sized full grown. We think 25 full grown. He is very sweet, has good eye contact and has a soft coat and down ears. He is active and the group is vocal but not over the top. He is one of the shyer pups and would be great for a family or person that is moderate to less active. He won’t be the social butterfly but will be a fantastic companion pet for someone. If a person is a quieter person wanting an easy and loveable pup that is content being with you, this is your match. A person that does not work all day every day for 5 days a week is the best for a puppy. Someone that can work from home some or has partial days or some days off to spend to help your new puppy acclimate is best. You need time to be with your puppy to socialize them and to finish off their puppy training. Cosmo was very easy to handle taking his photos and he wasn’t afraid of new people and liked being held. He sat on the table with confidence while we worked with him. He is getting daily attention and holding at the Rescue. He is getting his DHPP vaccinations and dewormed. He is good in his play group. He is kenneled in the evening and is learning to go potty on a wee pad. He is currently at the CCPAL Rescue in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. He would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. His adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Popcorn is two and a half months old, approximately three inches off the ground and currently having the absolute time of her life. This happy little scruff is possibly a Dachshund Chihuahua mix, with a long little body, tiny legs and just enough scruffy fur to make her ridiculously cute. She bounces through life with the cheerful confidence of a puppy who has already figured out that the world is full of toys, people and very good things. Go watch Popcorn on YouTube and see this adorable little girl bouncing, playing and soaking up every bit of puppyhood! https://youtu.be/vvBVG5IIpfk Popcorn is fostered in a loving home with other dogs and cats, giving her lots of opportunities to grow into a wonderfully well-rounded little pup. She also met our house cat and was sweet and respectful with him. Mostly, Popcorn seems delighted to make friends wherever she goes. And then she discovered children. Popcorn met a five- and eight-year-old and was in absolute heaven. Kids, toys, playtime and affection all at once? She could hardly have designed a better afternoon herself. She happily soaked up their attention, joined in the fun and showed off exactly what makes her such an easy little puppy to love. Popcorn is still a young puppy who will need all the usual patience, training and guidance as she grows, but she already has such a happy, playful and well-balanced personality. She loves affection just as much as she loves bouncing off to find her next toy, and she brings a whole lot of joy in one very tiny, slightly scruffy package. Apply today, and please reach out to Popcorn’s adoption coordinator with any questions!
