Story
Meet Caleb! An adorable 2-year-old dachshund weighing 11 lbs. and super sweet!! He is looking for his forever home after being in foster care and learning that love is gentle, patient, understanding, and kind. Caleb's past life was unkind and little by little, the past is becoming a distant memory. He is playful, sweet, a loving boy who like every dachshund, is vocal, very treat motivated, doesn't like the cold/rain, and can de-squeak a toy in seconds!! He gets along with both women & men but does prefer females.
Caleb is a work in progress with his potty training however he is completely pee pad trained (keeping in mind that a new change will nonetheless bring a few accidents). Through no fault of his own, Caleb will easily learn to go outside with your positive encouragement and guidance - his past trauma was potty related where he lived in car, was scolded and learned to hold it for a very long time). He is crate trained and walks fairly nicely on leash. Caleb has fully recovered from IVDD and therefore his home will have limited stairs, keep his weight ideal, no jumping, and fed a high-quality diet with a good joint supplement.
Caleb enjoys canine companionship of similar size & age, gets along with dog savvy cats, and children who are older 12+ (he does not like quick movements).
HIs best life includes:
Single family residence with a fully fenced & secured yard (no exceptions)
Works a hybrid schedule, part-time, early retired
Breed specific knowledge and experience (he is not for first time dog guardians)
Active
Quality time exploring the outdoors
Follows and practices positive force free training guidelines
Lives in a peaceful, quiet, rural area (city life is not for Caleb)
Caleb is fostered in Vancouver, WA
