THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED. Meet Charlie: A Colorful Pup With a Candy-Coated Personality 🍬 ***Charlie has very specific emotional and behavioral needs, so please read his entire bio before applying to adopt.*** -Breed: Smooth Chocolate Double Dapple Miniature Dachshund -Age: 1.5 years (Born on Halloween! October 31, 2023) -Size: Small but full of spunk -Health: Fully vetted, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention Born on Halloween, Charlie is as full of treats and tricks as you'd expect! With his striking double dapple coat and bright, expressive eyes (one is partially blue!), this little guy is bursting with personality—and he’s ready to find a forever home as special as he is. Charlie had a tough start, rescued from a commercial breeding facility. He was later adopted but returned when his big emotions and high energy became too much for his first home to manage. That’s where his story begins again—with a second chance and a fresh start. 🧡 What Makes Charlie Special Charlie is a cuddler at heart. He adores people, seeks out affection, and has a playful, silly side that’s endlessly entertaining. He’s potty trained, though he might tinkle a little if he gets too excited—it’s part of his over-the-top charm! He loves going on walks and exploring, but his enthusiasm can take over. With treats and firm guidance, he does well, but if you lose focus, Charlie’s ready to turn your calm stroll into a full-on sprint and barkfest. A leash, a plan, and some yummy bribes go a long way. ⚠️ What Charlie Needs Charlie feels deeply—especially when it comes to fear. If cornered or overwhelmed, he can react with defensive aggression. He’s not mean, just a dog who learned early on that sometimes the best defense is a loud offense. He needs an adopter who’s dog-savvy, patient, and attentive to his signals. With other dogs, Charlie is hit or miss. He tends to mirror the energy around him: calm dog, calm Charlie; excitable or confrontational dog, and Charlie will try to take control of the situation. A mellow canine companion could be a great match, with proper intros and supervision. 🏡 The Right Home for Charlie Charlie is looking for: *A calm, experienced home (no small kids) *A person who can commit to his emotional growth *Structured walks, continued training, and lots of cuddles *A securely fenced yard *No cats *Someone who sees past the challenges and into the heart of a dog who wants to be understood Charlie is a diamond in the rough—a dog with a whole lot of personality, love, and life to give. If you're the kind of person who believes in second chances, who loves a challenge and celebrates small victories, Charlie is ready to meet you. Interested in adopting Charlie? Fill out an application at https://www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information and let’s talk and see if you’re the hero he’s been waiting for. 🐾 The suggested adoption donation for Charlie is a minimum of $300 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information

Story
THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED. Just like his name’s sake, Troy Donahue is a heart throb. He is a handsome, four-year-old smooth dachshund, weighing in at 12 lbs. Once you gain his trust he will melt into your arms. Spending his life as a stud for a commercial breeder has made Troy skittish around humans. He enjoys being around his foster mom, always keeping an eye on her. He follows her from room to room but darts if she moves towards him. He has yet to come to her on his own but it’s only a matter of time because when she does get close enough to pet, he will nudge her to keep going. Troy recently discovered toys although he has not learned the de-stuffing method. He found a special toy that he took outside. He hides it when it’s time to go into the house and will retrieve it the next time he’s in the yard. He is most comfortable with the other dachshunds in the house. Being new to the pet world he’s learning how to be a dog, such as pottying outside (work in progress), he gets treats when he goes into the kennel and how to walk on a leash (not mastered yet). He’s also met some big dogs that became his buddies. Due to poor health care at the breeding facility, Troy will have lifelong dental issues. It is important that his forever home is diligent with dental care. At this time, he would be best in a home with a canine companion to keep showing him the ropes. He will need a securely fenced yard. Troy Donahue is looking for “A Summer Place” and the perfect place for every season beyond - his very own loving and caring family to have forever and ever. How can you turn down those big brown eyes?
