Badger

Please meet me, my name is Badger and I am a 2 year and 6 month old Dachshund who weighs 7.5 kg

My foster mum describes me as a typical Dachshund who loves to be with you, helping you, following you, watching you needy bum!

I don't have issues meeting people but I am a typical Dachshund so I will bark and remind them I am tough and fierce, and then my foster mum introduces the person to me and I'm like oh wow they are here for me - okay hiiiiiii!

So I would love to lie next to you on the couch, on a chair, even in bed (if allowed).

I love to lie next to my foster mum when she is on the couch and I like to follow (my foster mum says waddle) after her when she is doing things in the house but I think I’m super helpful.

I love to play with toys - I have a favorite white teddy bear and a rubber cactus that I love to play with and entertain myself with.

I love being active and playing in side or outside - I can play fetch and will bring it back to you 90% of the time.

I would love a home where my humans want me to help them with the mowing, gardening and watering the garden.

I am toilet trained and have used doggy doors before, but if not I will let you know I need to go.

The rescue has tested me and I can play with some dogs for a small while, but I am also very annoying to them and most of my playing goes pear shape and I react - so the rescue has said I would be best as a only dog but that means more attention for meeeeee.

My current foster home does have very good fencing as I do like to bark at the neighbor dog when he rushes the fence, or the dog and I will spend our time running up and down the fence barking and 'playing' on our own sides - so I would either need good hedges or fences and some time spent reminding me of my manners at first.

I do think that one of my most important jobs is making sure the home is safe from birds landing in the backyard - it's kind of a game I have with them - and I swear they enjoy it too as they keep coming and visiting.

I love to go for walks and waddle my way thru things. My foster mum says I walk on a lead with my harness nicely and while I can be suspect at playing with other dogs I don't have an issue walking past them on the lead or being in close proximity to them.

I also love to travel in the car so an awesome travel buddy for you.

I have some lovely manners (even if I do say so myself), and I can sit, stay and wait for food and be told to eat. I can also sit, stay and wait at the door while you go in and out the door (how clever am I?)

I will come to you 95% of the time when you call, just that once in a while I need a 'Badger come' reminder.

I have not been tested on cats

I currently sleep in my crate, and if I've had a big day I will put myself to bed, but if I've had a lazy day I need to be reminded and may whine for a minute.

I would love a home where I have access to inside and outside and if you work from home I will happily snooze in my bed or lay at your feet while you work. If you weren't home I would still snooze probably on the couch using a ramp or stairs (as that's important for my back) and then go outside when I need for man business.

So if you’re looking for a super sweet loving boy who’s just looking for a quiet life were we can share cuddles the blanket and walkies - please apply!!!
