Sweet, Smart, Energetic & Playful: He's the max of true companionship!

Are you on the lookout for an extraordinary friend who will make every day feel like an adventure?  Look no further than Max!  This charming pup will greet you with the enthusiasm typically reserved for Greek gods and goddesses, ready to fill your life with joy. 

Max came from Georgia when he had to be given up due to family issues. Max is a small standard with a zest for life.  He is sweet and calm - an ideal partner for relaxing nights in or long walks through the neighborhood.  He adores spending time with you, always by your side and eager to soak up every moment.  You’ll quickly find that you’re the most fascinating person in his world!

This lovable pup is already housebroken and accustomed to using a doggie door.  He’s intelligent and quick to learn, responding well to commands.  Max enjoys cozy cuddle sessions while you watch TV, read or meditate, often snuggling under the covers at bedtime before migrating to his favorite cushy chair or dog bed for a good night’s sleep. 

One of Max’s endearing quirks is his playful obsession with his toys.  He loves to carry them around squeaking and chewing as he goes and will happily decorate your living space with them. Unlike other dachshunds, Max isn’t inclined to destroy his toys - he simply enjoys their company!

When it’s time for walks, Max approaches the world with uncontainable excitement making it feel like you’re pulling a sled full of happy huskies.  With some patience and training, he can learn to walk more calmly on a leash ensuring enjoyable outings for both of you.

No dog is perfect, but Max comes remarkably close.  He was cherished by his previous owners and is now ready to share that love with his forever family.  If you’re looking to add a warm, wonderful companion to your life and have the time and energy to help Max enjoy the great outdoors, we encourage you to apply to adopt him.

Our must-haves for fun-loving Max include:

• A fenced yard is a must
• Another smaller young dog for him to play with as he does love to play with other dogs and toys
• Someone who can be home some with him or work from home
• The adopter must be active; no couch potatoes need apply
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos

If you meet these requirements and want to add to your pack, then now is the time to apply for Max! See additional information and photos of Max here.

Winston came from Georgia when the owner could no longer keep him due to family issues. Winston was not well socialized and is anxious about loud noises and strangers. For this reason, we had him in training to help him with new people and everyday situations. We want to keep him in neighboring states so he can be picked up from the trainer, and she can help them should they need help with him if he backslides.

In his foster home, he is a great dog, happy, and loves to play with his foster people and the foster female. We are unsure about male dog. He is a small standard wire, and we think he would do great with another small to medium-sized female.

Our must-haves for adorable Winston include:

- A fenced yard
- small-to-medium-sized, young female to play with
- Someone who understands the pack mentality
- No apartments, high-rises, condos, or anything with shared walls

Calm and sweet Gunter would be a great buddy to someone with retired breeder dog experience and who has another little furry pal!

Gunter is a retired breeder dog that came to us from NC.  He is a very sweet little guy who likes to be with you at all times. He is very quiet, doesn't make a sound, unless he can't see you.  

He is potty trained on puppy pads and going outside.  He does have an occasional accident but very rarely.  He can use a doggie door with no problems.

Gunter currently has two foster siblings who he follows around but doesn't really play with, but will carry a squeaky toy around like a prize! His foster siblings are Chihuahuas, and he's been around a few other dogs.  He doesn't seem to mind any of them.  He's also been around his foster home's cat who he has a no interest in. He sleeps all night in his kennel and curls up and sleeps in his seat on car rides. Gunter goes to work with his foster parent every day and is as quiet as a mouse.  He doesn't chew on things or get into anything.

With his fur being a blue and tan-dilute he does have some pattern baldness and will be prone to sunburn so t-shirts or manly muscle shirts should be a part of his wardrobe.  In winter, Gunter will be more sensitive to cold tempertures than the average Dachshund and would need to wear coats and sweaters. But hey, dressing your pup in cute shirts and sweaters is just one of the fun things about having a Doxie!

Our must haves for Gunter are:

- Fenced in yard 
- Another younger to adult well-socialized dog for Gunter to hang with.  NO big dogs - he's never been around them
- Someone with breeder dog experience is a plus
- No apartment, high rises or condos, please

Gunter is a very well-behaved dog and would be perfect for someone who wants a constant companion. Please see additional information and more photos of Gunter here.
