Story
Meet Sausage!
Sausage is an 11-week-old puppy from Athena’s breakfast litter, and we're pretty sure his name chose him. He is small, long and wonderfully low to the ground, with short little Dachshund-style legs and a body that is shaped remarkably like a sausage! Add his shiny black coat, and you have one very distinctive little puppy.
But don't let his dark coloring fool you. Sausage has a personality that is impossible to overlook.
Sausage is an outgoing, confident little guy who loves attention. He is curious about everything and wants to know what his people are doing at all times. If something interesting is happening, Sausage will be there to investigate. If someone is sitting down, he considers that an excellent opportunity to come over and see if attention is available.
He loves to play with his siblings and has plenty of puppy energy, but he also has a sweet, affectionate side. Once he's had enough running, wrestling and exploring, Sausage is happy to settle down with his people and soak up some attention.
His brother Java's DNA included 24% American Pit Bull Terrier, 14% Shih Tzu and 4% Dachshund, along with 14 other breeds. We haven't DNA tested Sausage, but when we look at his long body and short legs, we're pretty confident the Dachshund portion of the family tree made its presence known!
Like all of Athena's puppies, Sausage is looking for a family who understands that puppies need patience, training, supervision and plenty of time to learn how to be good dogs. He will need a physically fenced yard for safe play and exercise.
Sausage has been neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and has received his first two distemper/parvo vaccines. His adopter will be responsible for his last distemper/parvo vaccine and his rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age.
Sausage may be a little black puppy who is easy to overlook in a group of colorful puppies, but spend a few minutes with him and we're pretty sure you'll notice him. He's small, he's long, he's adorable, and his personality is anything but black and white.
