Dachshund puppies and dogs in Warrenton, Virginia

Roxy is a funny little dog who is a lot of fun to have around. She is low maintenance, she loves going for long walks, and is always up for them (rain or shine). She loves walking around a fenced yard and really entertains herself just by exploring. She is super athletic she jumps on top of a 4 foot gate & walks on the top of it (on a skinny little metal pole) , so a fenced yard has to be pretty tall for her. It looks like she is a gymnast on a very skinny balance beam! She might be a great agility dog but unlike many dogs like that, she is not demanding. We joke because of her tough looks that she the is really a guardian angel disguised as small four-legged bouncer. She does not chew on things she shouldn't and goes outside of her run so we believe she is likely housetrained. If you are interested in Roxy please let us know. Thank you for your interest in Roxy!

Daisy and Donut are 2 yrs old. The perfect age as they are all grown out of the puppy stages. They are both housebroken and just the sweetest lovable dogs. They are current on all vaccinations and preventatives and have been spayed and neutered. Daisy is a little more high energy but not excessive. She is wonderful especially if she has a chewy bone or toy. Not destructive, she just likes something to chew on. Donut is lower energy but still loves to chase a ball and play with his sibling. They both know sit and will shake when asked as well. Leash and kennel trained and will sleep in their kennel 8-9 hours with no problems. They are great dogs and their family does not want to give them up but they have had a coupled unexpected deaths in the family and unforeseen circumstances that make it unfair for these two as far as time and space. Their current family would love for them to go together and the adoption fees can be adjusted accordingly if we can find a spot together for them both. We will consider single applications if we can’t find a home together. Once adopted Daisy and Donut will will travel via private transport (transport cost is $165.00) to a location closest to you. If you would like to make this family of two part of your life and home please follow the link below to our application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Please contact Nancy Logan (nancyl@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.HOWARD   Come meet Howard and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (July 28th) from 12-3 pm at the Petsmart in Silver Spring (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)!     Male 16.2 pounds Best guess for breed: Dachshund and terrier mix Best guess for age: 2 years as of April 2024   The fosters who have been fortunate enough to spend time with Howard are in total agreement on this: Howard is a great little dog!   In the home, he is a well-mannered house guest, such an easy foster dog. No attempts to counter surf, dig in the yard, or bark. Understands outside is for potty. Is crated overnight and when his foster is out of the house; goes in willingly and chills. When his fosters are working, he will play with one of the other dogs if allowed; if not, or when he has burned off his energy, he will chill quietly at his foster's feet. Is very eager to please, responds well to 'uh-uh' or 'no' if he starts doing something his foster doesn't want him to do.   He is wonderful with other dogs and loves to play! He has been BFFs with resident dogs in foster including a 60-pound pup, a 8-pound scruffy terrier mix, and a 19-pound dog - and he matched all their play styles wonderfully. Howard has a tiny 5-pound foster brother who wanted to be with him in his crate. Howard was game for it - he snuggled up with the little pup.    And he is truly lovely with his humans.  Once he understands 'this is my home now, this is my human' - he turns into a greedy snuggle monster. Sit on the floor at your own risk; he jumps into your lap and bombards you with kisses on your chin. He may be just under 16 pounds, but he's compact and muscular, so you have this dense little bundle of sheer love in your lap and it just feels so good. He just wants so much to bond with his humans, to please them.    Another reason he is exceptional: He is such a smart and brave boy. It is likely that he came from a situation where he spent his life in a home and yard. He was not socialized properly. As a result, so many things are new and scary to him. Crowded adoption events, in the middle of a strip mall with cars and trucks passing by - he gets overwhelmed. Both his fosters live on DC side streets near busy centers, and all those vehicles - from mopeds illegally speeding on the sidewalk to Metrobuses rumbling by - are a lot to take in. Even a woman simply toting a stroller down her front steps - caution! He loves being indoors and in fenced backyards and needs support to acclimate to being in more open city spaces.    Where does the smart and brave come in? He learns fast! He met Foster #2 on the sidewalk and pulled away fearfully. Two minutes later, when he was off the scary sidewalk and inside his new foster home, he jumped into his new foster's lap and gave her kisses. Foster #2 spent a day coaxing him outside to walk him up and down the sidewalk in front of her home. Less than 24 hours after he arrived, he was pulling on the leash in front of his foster, eager to see more - what was around the corner, what was across the road. And he was indignant when he was not invited to join an evening walk with the foster's two resident dogs. Howard is still scared of new things on walks, still shies away from new people - but he is so brave and keeps pushing himself because he knows there is a big world out there and he wants to see it.    The moral of this story? If you meet Howard at an event - know that the shy, scared dog in front of you is not the real Howard. The real Howard is a playful and loving little ball of happiness. He needs humans who are extra loving and patient, ready to support him during his acclimation period. Who will walk him up and down in the same place as often as he needs, sit with him on the sidewalk as long as he wants to watch and take in everything around him, help him build his experience and confidence. And will give him all the snuggles he wants and accept all the kisses he gives. A welcoming resident dog who plays with him to burn off his energy, and walks with him to show him all is well, will make such a difference as well.    What do you say? Is this fantastic little pup the one for your home and your heart? (and at 16 pounds - your lap!)   Gets Along With:   Howard loves other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog! He hasn't been seen with cats but can be tested. Please see below about living with young children.    Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Special adoption considerations:  Because Howard is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. We would be cautious placing Howard in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant.   Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.    TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
