BIO:

Piper came to us from a high-kill shelter in VA with the owner’s other dog Toby.  Toby and Piper can be adopted together or separately.  Please see Toby’s profile for additional information.

Piper is a gorgeous lady from the tip of her nose to the last hair on her tail!  When posing, her tail looks like a sail blowing in the wind.  She has a soft, luscious coat that she shows off like a model on a runway.  Unlike most models, she likes her meals and treats so you have to monitor her intake to stay fit and trim.  She’ll try to bat her big brown eyes and sway you into giving her another treat so you have to stand firm and not give in to her demands.  Daily walks and exercise will be a key factor in keeping her healthy and happy.

She is delighted to follow you from room to room to see what is going on and take part in the action or just lay at your feet.  She also likes to cuddle and be held.  She will promptly roll over and let you rub her belly and fall asleep.  She can be kenneled, but would prefer to be beside you and snuggled next to you in bed.   

She is completely potty trained and will let you know when she needs to go outside by giving you a little dance routine and lead you to the door in the process of spinning and swirling.      

Piper is currently being fostered with two boys.  They haven’t known each other long and seem to mind each other’s space but have not connected with each other.  She knows how to stand her ground and is not submissive to them.  I think with time she will enjoy the companionship of another dog; however, I think she would do well as an only dog where she can have the spotlight.

We encourage adopters from all over the United States 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.

If you would like additional information or have any questions, please feel free to contact the foster family directly. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
