Story
This beautifully marked boy is Jake. He is a 3 years old Australian Shepherd mix who weighs 50 pounds. Jake is a smart guy. He knows: sit, stay, down, off, kennel, and paw. He likes to "help" put boxes in recycling, likes to "help" take out the trash! He is also house trained. Jake is good with people. He is initially stand-offish when meeting new people and warms up when given a moment. Like so many other herders, he likes to make his own introduction. With people in his home, Jake will pick one person and that person is his: he is friendly with everyone in the house, but he will always follow that one person no matter what. Jake lives with a small dog and is polite with him. He is also friendly with a family member’s dog when they visit. He seems to prefer polite dogs. Jake is good on leash. He can pull on leash sometimes, so sometimes needs a reminder to not do so. Jake is fine in the car. He prefers shorter trips. He did take a two-days road trip and was polite but didn’t settle. So he is more of a local drive kind of guy. Jake does have ear allergies, but a $10 one-year supply of "Allerclear" from Costco manages it just fine. Jake likes to run and play hard, and that can cause him to get a bit of a limp after play. Then, he recovers and is back at play. He is starting Dasuquin to help so he can keep up that active play. Jake will cuddle to watch tv for about 20-30 minutes, then he gets too hot and wants to lie down by himself. He can identify toys by name and color and will retrieve them on command. Jake is best friend material: loyal, engaging, smart. He only needs a home because he is not a fit with the special needs family member in the home. Jake is neutered and microchipped. He is located in Lompoc, CA. Adopters must be able to meet and adopt here. A home visit and vet reference are required to adopt.

Story
The application is the first step in the adoption process, so if you are interested in adopting please fill out the online adoption application  first by visiting our website at www.dachshundpaws.org    Ladybug is an adorable 1 year old little Chihuahua with a gentle soul and a playful spark. She came into the world right here in our rescue after we welcomed in her pregnant mom, who needed help when her family lost their home and could no longer keep their dogs. Ladybug weighs about 9 pounds and is as sweet as she is petite. She can be very shy at first, so she’ll need a patient, understanding family willing to give her the time and space she needs to feel safe and confident. Once she warms up, her fun personality begins to shine. She loves playing with her siblings, and outdoor time is one of her favorite things—especially when it involves chasing bugs and dancing leaves in the breeze. Ladybug does wonderfully with other dogs and cats, making her a great fit for a multi-pet household. Ladybug is ready to find a loving family who will help her continue to blossom. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle companion and have the patience to let her come out of her shell, Ladybug may be the perfect match for you. Ladybug's adoption fee is $200We do not have a kennel or facility to visit, all dogs are kept in foster homes until their forever homes are found.Adoption Process: Once an approved application is on file, we will then set up a home visit.

Story
The application is the first step in the adoption process, so if you are interested in adopting please fill out the online adoption application  first by visiting our website at www.dachshundpaws.org    Lulu is a 4-year-old Boston Terrier/French Bulldog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This special girl is hearing impaired, but you’d hardly ever notice—unless her back is turned to you. Lulu is wonderfully attentive and very in tune with her people. She’s great at reading visual cues and already knows her signs, which makes communicating with her a breeze. If there’s one thing Lulu loves almost as much as people, it’s toys—actually, she’s obsessed. Lulu will happily grab a toy, zoom around the house with it, play hard, destroy it with pride, and then immediately hunt down her next victim. Tough chewer toys are a must for this enthusiastic girl! Lulu absolutely adores people and will snuggle for as long as you’ll allow. She’s affectionate, loving, and happiest when she’s curled up close to her humans. She does great with other dogs and especially enjoys play-wrestling with her canine friends. Lulu would do best with another dog in the home. Lulu is also good with kids and brings her fun, gentle energy to everyone she meets. Water is another one of Lulu’s favorite things—bring out the hose and watch her light up with excitement! Her playful, goofy nature shines through in everything she does. Lulu is truly a little clown who will keep you smiling and laughing every day. All Lulu wants is a forever home where she can be loved, spoiled, and treated like the princess she is. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, toy-obsessed best friend with a heart of gold, Lulu might just be your perfect match. Lulu’s adoption fee: $200We do not have a kennel or facility to visit, all dogs are kept in foster homes until their forever homes are found.Adoption Process: Once an approved application is on file, we will then set up a home visit.

Enzo

Poodle (Standard) German Shepherd Dog

Male, 5 yrs 3 mos

Story
According to his DNA test, this cool dude is Enzo, a Shepadoodle mix. He was born in January, 2021. He weighs about 45 pounds. He has a fun, funky, curly mohawk down his back. Enzo knows: Sit, down, heel, right & left turn, down at a distance, 'go to your crate', and other commands. He waits and makes eye contact for treats and his dinner. He knows tricks, too. He did very well in an Intro to Nosework class. Enzo is house trained and uses the dog door. He is also crate trained. He uses the crate to relax and sleep. Enzo is good with anyone kind and appropriate. The calm kids he's met have been able to give him treats for tricks or pets. On hikes and walks he gets a little shy of people approaching and just prefers some distance. He will get curious and want to sniff if new people direct their attention away from him. Treats are a great icebreaker for him. Enzo is good with other dogs. He loves to play and even shares toys with dogs, initiating tug games with them. Enzo loves fetching rope toys and floppy toys. He loves sharing his toys with his people and will find toys to bring to initiate a game. Enzo is good in the car in a crate and can get excited when he is going somewhere he likes. Enzo is good on leash and can be uncertain sometimes with new situations. A confident dog pal helps him see that it's all ok. Enzo is best on quiet streets and hikes, so being a city dog isn't the life for him. Enzo will thrive in a home that is fair, kind, and keeps him busy so he isn't bored. He is a happy, fun-loving young dog who is up for anything fun and loves to learn. He has a lot of potential as a fun adventuring/sporting companion. We see him living with a young active couple or family who have a yard to play in, can take him for hikes and make him a big part of their lives. Enzo is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He is located in SoCal. Adopters must be able to meet and adopt here. We do not ship our dogs. A home visit and vet reference are required.
