Story
Meet/Adopt Benedict — The Dashing, Deaf Dachshund!
Benedict is a 1-year-old Dachshund mix whose ears may not work, but whose heart absolutely does. Deaf but undeterred, Benedict is a happy little guy who’s full of spunk, affection and classic doxie charm.
His Favorite Things?
🐶 Dog friends his size – instant playmates! Benedict loves to play chase and wrestle with his canine friends!
🧸 Toys– small dog, small toys, big fun!
🥰 Cuddles with his person – he’ll snooze next to you all night or join you for a good TV binge.
☀️ Sunbathing on the porch – the sun is his happy place.
House/Crate Training:
Benedict is doing great with his potty training and just needs a little more structure, routine, patience, and time to be 100%. He’s almost there and tries really hard! Benedict is getting better about accepting his crate when needed but will still try to convince you to come get him out for a few minutes!
Personality:
Benedict is affectionate, playful and true to his breed—spunky, clever and loyal. Benedict mirrors the mood of his people and is happiest when he’s close to them, whether that’s following you around the house or snoozing right beside you.
Special Needs:
Deaf? Yes. Difficult? Not at all. Benedict doesn’t need special accommodations—just love, patience, and someone who understands that being deaf doesn’t mean being different.
Ready to Meet Your New Best Friend?
Benedict is neutered, current on vaccines, HW negative, current on heartworm prevention and microchipped. His adoption fee is $225.
