Niko
Dachshund mix
2-3 years old, 15 pounds
“Weiner dog” body
Very friendly with humans and wants to be at your side 24/7. Not kid- or cat-tested.
Low- to medium-energy and would benefit from indoor fetch and cuddle time
Crate-trained but will cry for the first few minutes he is in the crate. He is a marker but did well with a belly band. Likes to jump up on the couch and be next to you. Will go through the trash and nibble at shoes unless you tell him no. Walks well on a leash but also likes to attend to other animals on walks.
Will whine initially in the car and dry heaves but does not have accidents.
He will be your best friend the minute he meets you! His tail is constantly wagging and he will
put a smile on your face any time of the day.
Occasionally whines; would be ok for an apartment if you have thick walls.
