Dachshund puppies and dogs in Cedarhurst, New York

Cian 4 months old | Spayed Female | Dachshund Mix | 3.5 kg | 23 cm | Black & Brown   CALGARY FLIGHT OPPORTUNITY — AUGUST 6 A flight volunteer to Calgary, AB is available, arriving on August 6 at 4:10 PM, with space for ONE dog.   Both Rory and Cian are eligible for this flight. The spot will go to whichever pup is matched with an approved Calgary adopter first.   Rescue Story Cian was born after her pregnant mother was rescued from a hoarding situation. She is now ready to leave her difficult beginnings behind and find a loving forever family of her own.   Personality & People Cian is a very friendly, affectionate, and outgoing puppy. She happily approaches both familiar people and strangers, rubbing against them for attention and readily allowing herself to be touched and petted.   She is comfortable with both men and women and can easily be picked up and held. She is so trusting with people that she may even roll over and show her belly to someone she has just met.   Other Dogs Cian is very social with other dogs and will approach both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to say hello and invite them to play.   Despite her small size, she isn’t generally intimidated by larger dogs. However, very high-energy or rough dogs can make her nervous. She prefers playing with dogs closer to her own size or those with a gentler play style.   If another dog challenges or provokes her, Cian tends to avoid the situation rather than engage.   Cats Cian has not yet been observed around cats. Cat testing can be arranged upon request.   Energy Level Cian has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor activities and playtime but settles down nicely and rests afterward.   Walking Cian has not had much experience with leash walking yet and will need continued guidance and training in her new home.   At Home & Other Behaviours Cian does not show food guarding toward either people or other dogs.   She is currently quiet without problematic barking and remains calm in a kennel. She uses both indoor pee pads and outdoor areas for potty breaks.   Because Cian comes from a hoarding background and is accustomed to living around other dogs, her behaviour as the only dog in a home has not yet been observed.   Cian is still a young puppy and will need a family ready to continue her training, socialization, and help her grow into a happy, confident adult dog.   Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org  PLEASE ALSO VISIT OUR FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM!

Cindy - 3 years & 17lbs, Chiweenie, Spayed  Our Team Says: "This pup was rescued from a hoarding situation in PR - involving about 40 dogs. Due to this these pups are on the shyer side and need patient people who will give them time to get used to normal life. They are very sweet dogs: just need more time and patience. Cindy was treated for HW and is doing great and finally got to come NYC to find her forever family." This dog is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Level of dog ownership experience required:BEGINNER – “Beginner” doesn’t necessarily mean easy as all dogs will require time, work, and patience, but we predict this dog will be low on the challenge scale because of their breed/age combo. Potentially a good fit for someone who has relevant dog care experience (fostering, dog sitting) and is looking to adopt their first pup.  Energy level:MEDIUM – Needs a daily 60 minute walk or window of quick paced exercise (minimum) in addition to potty break strolls (10-30 min each). Also needs significant socializing opportunities outside the home and mental stimulation at home like tricks training practice, chew items, and puzzle toys. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Okay in the city?We don’t know yet because this pup is brand new to us. Most adult dogs do well in the city after they’ve had time to adjust to a new environment, but some never adapt and need homes in the burbs.  Potty trained?Probably! Adults usually are, but all will have transitional accidents for the first week or so. A consistent walking route and schedule plus finding spots with grass or dirt can help. Social with other dogs?Yes, but we don’t know to what degree yet. Some like to wrestle with every passing pup, others can coexist well but prefer to keep to themselves. We’ll learn more soon. Social with cats?Not sure yet! Some breed mixes that are generally NOT great matches for homes with cats include large hounds, huskies, and shepherds.  Comfortable with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)We’re not sure yet, but we try to err on the side of caution. Respectful kids ages 8 and up are probably a safe bet. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age carefully.  Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines; heartworm tested if coming from Tennessee or Puerto Rico; spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake How did this dog end up with Social Tees?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.  PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses. This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes. LEARN MORE ABOUT US: socialteesnyc.org and Instagram @socialteesnyc ##2807782##

Cosmo - 2 years & 16lbs, Chi Mix, Neutered Our Team Says: "This pup was rescued from a hoarding situation in PR - involving about 40 dogs. Due to this these pups are on the shyer side and need patient people who will give them time to get used to normal life. They are very sweet dogs: just need more time and patience." This dog is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Their Foster Parent Says: "Cosmo has been with me for four weeks now, and what a change – he is truly a different dog. At the outset he was timid and fearful of anyone who would try to touch him, a reflection of the neglect I suspect he suffered in his former life. He used to like to hide in his crate and move back into the furthest corner if anyone approached. Now he’s an affectionate little love-bug! When I’m walking around the apartment he is like my shadow, following me everywhere and nudging my leg to get my attention. When I’m sitting, he is either sleeping on his tummy next to my chair or he puts his chin on my chair and waits for me to stroke his head or under his chin – or, best of all, to do both simultaneously! He seems to go into a love coma with his eyes half shut and his ears standing up! He is much more trusting and friendly with everyone now, even strangers we meet on our walks. He will nuzzle their hands and let them stroke him. He has also become more playful and has a little lamb he likes to shake and hear it squeak. He usually takes it into his crate at night, along with his “hedgie”. He has a new toy called a “Dog Brick” where one hides treats in various little compartments. He is having such fun with it and has become quite clever at flipping the lids and sliding the blocks to find the goodies! Right from the start, Cosmo has been a very sweet, calm dog and as he has become more settled he has only become sweeter. He is a gentle soul who rarely barks, never growls and is not at all mouthy, the perfect apartment dog. He never nips and has no interest in chewing shoes or anything else. He is completely house-trained and rarely has an accident. He loves to go “walkies” and always waits until we are outside to “go”. He likes to sniff just about everything outside and does pull on the leash a lot – I’m trying to train him not to. He generally seems scared of other dogs, even the littlest ones. We usually stand to one side as they go past and he never lunges or shows any aggression towards them. Based upon a couple of encounters in the park, he also seems to be gentle with children."

Doesn’t try to chew on hands, feet, etc. during playtimeSEPARATION ANXIETYPast this stage – Completely fine being left home alone. Doesn’t cry or exhibit destructive behavior when you leave the apartment or house. LEASH MANNERSGetting the hang of it – Probably hasn’t been on a leash much in their life but figuring it out. Might be a mild puller but responds to correction. CUDDLE BUG LEVELLower – Independent, mostly keeps to themself (may be a new rescue or shy, this could change) JUMPING ON PEOPLE TO SAY HELLOCalm Greetings – Doesn’t jump up on people or dogs. Always all four on the floor. CRATE TRAININGYep/mostly – Seems comfortable in the crate, may whine a little at first but settles pretty quickly.

Meet Tonka! Some dogs want toys. Some dogs want treats. Tonka just wants you. This 9-year-old, 12-pound Dachshund was rescued from a home along with 41 other dachshunds. Tonka is the definition of a Velcro dog. His favorite place in the world is in someone's lap, and if there isn't one available, he'll happily search the house until he finds one. He's happiest when he's close to his people, soaking up belly rubs, cuddles, and all the affection he can get. His foster watched him instantly bond with their 8-year-old son. The two became inseparable almost overnight. Tonka followed him everywhere, slept snuggled beside him each night, and even tried to follow him onto the school bus one morning because he couldn't bear to see his little buddy leave. That's just who Tonka is—when he loves you, he loves you with his whole heart. Like many rescue dogs, Tonka is looking for a family that understands building trust takes time. He does experience some separation anxiety and can be fearful in certain situations, particularly around some men he doesn't know. Because of this, he'll need adopters who are patient, consistent, and willing to let him adjust at his own pace. Tonka isn't the type of dog who will instantly feel at home—and that's okay. What he needs most is someone who understands that trust isn't built overnight, but through kindness, routine, and showing him day after day that he's safe. The beautiful thing about Tonka is that once he loves you, he loves you with everything he has. His foster has seen firsthand how deeply he bonds with his people, and it's impossible not to fall in love with his unwavering loyalty and affectionate heart. His perfect family won't expect perfection on day one—they'll celebrate every little milestone and know that the strongest bonds are often the ones that take a little time to build. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who believes there's no such thing as too many cuddles, Tonka is waiting to meet you.

Meet Titan! Titan is a 14-year-old, 13-pound Dachshund who is proof that it's never too late for a fresh start. He was rescued alongside 41 other Dachshunds from a home with more than 60 dogs, and he is now looking for a quiet, loving family where he can spend his golden years in comfort. This sweet senior is completely blind and has some mobility limitations, but don't let that fool you—Titan still enjoys exploring the world around him at his own pace. His favorite place is a secure yard or grassy outdoor space where he can safely wander, soak up the sunshine, and take care of his business. Busy city sidewalks aren't really his thing, and he would do best in a calmer environment where he can feel safe and relaxed. Titan is a gentle, easygoing companion who spends much of his day snoozing in a cozy bed. While he's more of an independent guy than a cuddler, he has started seeking out affection as he settles into foster care and enjoys being pet and spending time near his people. He's wonderful with other dogs and gets along with everyone he meets, including children, adults, and seniors. One thing Titan absolutely loves? Mealtime! Despite having no teeth, he never misses an opportunity for a good meal and approaches every dinner with enthusiasm. His future family should be prepared to continue working on his housetraining routine, as he is still learning a consistent bathroom schedule and may have accidents. Thankfully, Titan is incredibly cooperative and tolerant with handling, happily accepting baths, medications, and routine care. Titan is looking for a patient, understanding home that can accommodate his special needs and give him the comfort, consistency, and love he deserves. In return, he'll be a loyal, grateful companion who is simply happy to have a safe place to call home.

Looking for a loyal little shadow to keep you company? Meet Arabella, an adorable 8-year-old, 16-pound black and tan Dachshund with a heart full of love and enough personality to keep you smiling every day. She could stand to lose a couple of pounds, but don't tell her we said that—she's already convinced she's the perfect lap dog! Arabella may be a bit shy when meeting new people, but give her a little patience and she'll quickly show you what a sweetheart she is. Once she trusts you, she becomes incredibly devoted and loves nothing more than being close to her favorite person. Whether she's curled up beside you on the couch, snuggled in your lap, or simply making sure you're always within sight, Arabella is happiest when she's with the people she loves. Her foster has noticed she may even have a soft spot for the men in her life! This affectionate girl lives for belly rubs, neck scratches, and all the attention you can give her. She's playful too, enjoying toys and the occasional game with another dog, though she'd prefer her furry friends respect her personal space when she's enjoying one of her prized toys. She's also a big fan of treats and loves spending time outdoors, especially on leisurely walks. In fact, regular strolls would be the perfect way to help her slim down while doing something she truly enjoys. Arabella walks nicely on leash, rides well in the car, knows commands like sit, come, lie down, and go to bed, and is puppy pad trained. She does have excellent manners in the house, though she'll need continued work on fully mastering her house training. She'll also let you know when someone new arrives with a few barks before settling down. Like many dogs who have experienced change, Arabella forms deep bonds with her people and can become anxious when her favorite human leaves her sight. She's looking for an adopter who understands that love and patience go a long way in helping a dog feel safe and secure. In return, you'll have a faithful companion who will love you with her whole heart. Arabella would thrive in a home where she can be someone's cherished sidekick—a family who appreciates the special bond that comes from earning the trust of a sweet, sensitive soul. If you're searching for a loving companion who's equal parts cuddle bug, walking buddy, and loyal best friend, Arabella may be your perfect match.
