Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Carter is a lively 3-year-old, 12-lb., male wire-haired dachshund. He is the friendliest little boy you’ll ever meet. There is no such thing as a stranger in Carter’s world as he greets everyone he meets with tail- wagging enthusiasm. His zest for life is contagious as he makes friends wherever he goes. Speaking of going, he loves walks around the neighborhood as well as car rides, and would love a family that would include him in their adventures. He is happiest when he is with his people, he doesn’t like being left behind and becomes anxious when left alone. A household where someone works from home, or is retired is a must for him, and a companion dog in the house would be ideal. So far Carter has shown no signs of being dog selective, he has been friendly and respectful with large, small, male and female, he is just happy to have a fellow furry friend, but he has not been tested with cats. Carter is doing great with his house training and will go to the back door when he needs to go outside and potty, but he still has the occasional accident. He has been well mannered in the home, no chewing or destructive behavior. He enjoys Nylabones and playing fetch, and loves playing with children, they are his favorite. He also loves to snuggle on the couch and sleep with his humans in bed. He truly is a joy to have around. Carter came to the rescue missing quite a bit of fluffy fur and needed to gain some weight but his new healthy lifestyle has done wonders and both his weight and coat are filling in nicely. If you are looking for a fun loving, loyal companion to keep you company and share your adventures, Carter is the perfect boy for you. We would prefer someone for him who has doxie breed experience.
