This stunningly handsome dachshund beagle boy landed in our arms when his mom realized that 11 dachshund/beagles in a single home was too much. While he was loved dearly by his mom, this boy missed out on some key socialization as a puppy. He’s an absolute lover boy when he’s with his people, but needs a family to help him gain more confidence.
Let’s start with the good stuff. And with Blackjack, there is a lot of good stuff. He falls head over heels with his person and will adore you to the moon and back. His favorite place in the world is snuggling with his foster mom, especially in her bed at night. And at night, his idea of a good time is hanging out with you watching TV – he actually puts his head on the pillow and watches along with you. Him and his foster mom are now currently binge watching Army Moms. But we are pretty sure that he’ll be happy with whatever show is your guilty pleasure. And if ever need a sloppy doxie beagle kiss, just tell your new lover boy to give you a kiss, and he happily obliges.
He's also done great meeting new adults in his foster home. And he’s been a great guest when going to meet adults at their home as well. He take a minute to warm up, then he’s totally fine with them. Blackjack also is housetrained, crate trained and is great on a leash. He would love a family that likes to walk because it helps him get out anxiety and gain confidence. Blackjack does great with small dogs as well as cats. He used to go on playdates with other small dogs at his past home.
Now the other stuff. Loud noises and fast movements scare Blackjack. And as a result, he will bark and growl. So he needs a very calm and quiet house without kids under 14 years old. The size and quick movements of big dogs also scare him and he then reacts by bark and growling. It’s very likley that given time and patience, that he will gain the confidence to handle these situations in the future. But for now, he needs a home without big dogs or kids.
He's neutered, had a dental cleaning, UTD on shots, HW negative and microchipped. Buster is fostered in the Raleigh (Wake Forest) area and his new family will need to travel to his foster home to adopt him. We prefer families in NC, SC, VA, eastern TN, northern GA, WV and DC area.
