BIO:

Moses is doing great and will walk on a leash anywhere in a calm and curious manner. His desire for female attention is bottomless. He shadows me so much; he's almost a tripping hazard LOL. He wags his tail for me; he plays with me, and jumps on me. He's so spunky, it’s great. If he needs to be shut in a room because of cleaning or bringing in groceries, we put Mooch, our kitty, in there with him. Otherwise he barks and cries endlessly.

When he opens up to you, he has such a huge personality. I'm greeted with lots of tail wags and kisses every day. He's a big cuddler and pretty much demands attention. Moses and both my cats are starting to playfully chase each other through the house. Mooch and Moses is as chummy as ever. He's added a whole other dynamic to our family. Potty training has been going well although not perfect. We still use pee pads because he only holds his potty for maybe 2 hours (other than sleeping overnight). He is pretty calm and willing to let me put on either his harness or collar to go outside. He's even been starting to wait by the door to let me know he has to go and gets excited to see his collar. Still the one weakness he has is a lack of relationship with men. He isn't so much afraid of men but tolerates them. He would do best in a home with no males but at least he is not aggressive towards them, just uncomfortable. With time this will probably ease. If Moses can show his true, spunky colors to his adoptive family, they will fall in love with him. If you think you might be a good fit for Moses please apply to adopt him. Thank you!

We encourage adopters from all over the Greater New England Area and will do our absolute best to accommodate you in arranging for transportation if you choose to adopt a dachshund from FDR. If your dachshund of choice is coming from a state other than the one you reside in, there will be an additional $40.00 Health Certificate Fee that is required by law. Thank you for supporting a dachshund in need.
