Adopt a Dachshund (short coat)

Hi!  I am Princess.  I am an adorable, lovable, huggable mini-dachshund.

I am an active little lady, so please don’t expect me to be a couch potato for a few years.  Nevertheless, I love to be picked up and cuddled.

My housetraining is decent as long as you keep an eye on me and get me outside often.  I can be left alone in a room for an hour or two, but any longer and I need to be in a crate (I am crate-trained) or in a room that can be easily cleaned up.

I would love to have a securely fenced yard to explore, but the fence must be VERY secure as I am small and could easily get through gaps or holes in any fence.

I can be in a multi-dog household, but it may take a few days to get to know and be comfortable with the other dogs—especially if any of the others are considerably bigger than me.  This is one situation in which I will bark a lot.  (Hey, I can be a diva if I want to be—my name IS “Princess”.)  This is one area in which I could benefit from a basic obedience class

I am used to eating in my crate and will run to the crate when I see my food bowl.

My biggest pet peeve is getting my toenails trimmed.  Don’t look for my cooperation, but it may help if someone tries to distract me with a constant flow of treats.

Please adopt me with my best buddy Pablo who is a fantastic dachshund wannabe.

The Adoption fee for Princess and Pablo is $525 (for both dogs). If they are adopted over the Maryland state line there will be a $45.00 charge (for each dog) for a health certificate (required by law).  If they are adopted in New England there is an additional $135 fee (for each dog) to help cover the transport of each dog to New England.

Transportation Help

If you see a furbaby that is a match for your family, don’t let distance stand in the way of your adoption. LPDR can work with you to have a volunteer transport to assist with transportation or refer you to a paid transport.
