Hi! My name is June, and I’m a gorgeous red shorthair dachshund with a white patch on my chest. I’m about three years old, and I weigh a svelte 13 lbs.

I am a total cuddlebug and snuggler. It will take me about five minutes to warm up to you because I’m a little bit submissive, but after that I will want to be in your lap at all times. That being said, I am a typical two-year old dachshund – energetic and very curious. The last time I was at the vet’s office, I concluded that the doorstop was a toy they left in there, just for me! At home, I love to play fetch and chew on chew bones.

Speaking of the vet’s office, everyone in the place gave me lots of attention when I visited for my exam, vaccinations and heart worm test (which was negative, yay!). They handed me back and forth, and one nice person gave me shots and another one drew my blood. I loved all the attention so much that it never even occurred to me to cry! I’ve been told I get to go back in a week to be spayed and to have my baby canine teeth, which for some reason never fell out, removed.

In my foster home I have seven dogs to play with (one being my 15-month old daughter Mancha). Some of the dogs are small, some are medium, and one is huge. I like being with them all. I’m learning to walk on a leash, and I’ve been very good riding in a crate in the car (even though I’d rather be in someone’s lap). I haven’t met a cat yet, or farm animals, or chickens.

I am pretty well house trained. I haven’t used the dog door, but enjoy going in and out when the door is open. I am crate trained and I sleep in there. I also love to nap next to my foster family on the couch! My foster family has a great boy, and I get along pretty well with him.
My adoption fee is $625, which doesn’t quite cover the veterinary care I’ve gotten at New Mexico Dachshund Rescue, but believe me, I am worth a lot more than that! If you think I could be your best friend, please submit an adoption application right away!
