Hi, my name is Finley. I am a 4-month-old smooth coat, chocolate & tan, dapple dachshund.  My foster mom says I have a lot of energy but if you play fetch with me (I’m pretty good at it) I get tired and I'm happy to take relax or take a nap until I’m up and ready to play again.  I also love cuddling and kisses.  After I burn off all that energy I’m happy snuggle up on you and fall asleep (especially if you rub my back or my belly).  I also love playing with toys and because I’m teething it’s really important that I have puppy stuff to chew on (my favorite is Himalayan Yak & bully sticks) so I don’t chew on my foster family’s stuff.  She says whoever adopts me will have to make sure they have time to help me burn off my energy and make sure I have stuff to chew on so I don’t become destructive.

I'm also happy to report that my foster mom says she's super proud of me because I've been trying really hard and only had a couple of potty accidents.  I’m also doing really good at going to the door to let my foster family know I need to go potty, however, I submissive pee but as I get older and more confident it should stop.  If you’re not familiar with submissive peeing please check out the link. https://pets.webmd.com/dogs/submissive-urination#1

I do need a family that will be able to continue my potty training and understands that I probably will need to go out every 4 hours until I’m older and fully trained.

I’m also happy to sleep in the crate at night (in your room) and sleep through the night without having to go out!  Otherwise, I’m still in training to calm down when crated but I’m doing pretty good at learning but it’s not my one of my favorite things.  If you know anyone who might love and has the time to give a sweet, inquisitive puppy dachshund (me) their forever home please get in touch with my foster mom......Finley
