Sponsored by Heather Baggs in loving memory of Mike Stein with heartfelt condolences to Lynda on her great loss.
Hello, my name is Trouble but foster mom is calling me Trudy because she says Trouble is such an unbecoming name for a sweet, gorgeous girl like me. I am looking forward to meeting you and getting my own family. I am a long-haired mini dachshund and about 8 pounds. My coat is like silk. I am estimated to be about 4 years old. I have a fair amount of energy but I can also settle. I am spayed and had a dental when I lost several teeth. My mouth feels so much better. I am up-to-date on vaccinations and microchipped.
I am getting used to my new name. While I will sit in your lap, I am happy to be on my own. I am afraid of sharp noises so you need to be patient while I learn to trust and build my confidence. Foster mom thinks I will want to snuggle as I get comfortable. While I haven’t met any children, foster mom thinks I would be fine with respectful children.
House trained is a work in progress so you will need to help me to learn to go outside. I am okay in the car and I am getting used to being on a leash. I have figured out stairs and l like to wander in the yard so if you have a fenced yard, that would be great. Foster mom isn’t sure if I will come in on my own so I drag a long leash.
Foster mom has two small dogs and several cats. I am comfortable with the dogs and just ignored the cats. I haven’t met any large dogs so foster mom thinks I would be okay but she isn’t sure.
While foster mom is out, I am loose with the other dogs. Foster mom tried leaving me by myself and I climbed the baby gate to get with the other dogs. At night, I will sleep on the floor beside your bed but I would rather be on the big bed with you. Foster mom has a big dog bed that I like to sleep in.
The ideal home for me could have another dog and can even have a cat. If you have a fenced yard that would be a bonus. If you have respectful children, I would be okay with that.
I hope to meet you soon.
