Archie

Hi

My name is Archie and i am a 5 month old dachshund

I came into care thru no fault of mine from the breeder and i am now looking for my furever home.

I have come in a bit timid and needing to get some confidence - I may not be the first to push thru in a group and demand a pat - but when I'm comfortable and feel safe I am a awesome little guy to have around.

I am looking for a home where they will give me the time to settle and to be happy understanding that at this stage in life I'm not all about the cuddles and being on top of you like some pups are - I just didn't get taht when I was growing up.

However my foster mum says give me time and I will show my true personality - i can be cheeky when comfortable and I can be a great couch buddy but in my own space.

I currenlty live with kids and while I am fine with them, being picked up and carried or hugged will make me nervous - if they let me come to them naturally all is good. I do like to snuggle up on the couch or the bed with kids but at my own ace.

Now i might sound like the easiest dog to have but if you give me some time i do settle and it's worth it!

The rescue believes that i need to go to a home with at least one other dog - i love to run and play with them thru the house and outside - dashies especially as we can dart in and out of things and our floppy ears can flap in the breeze as we race past you. (My foster mum says it will also help with my confidence).

I am currently with other dogs and love it!

I am not tested on cats but my foster mum says I would definitely respect them as they would be bigger than me!

I love being able to have access to inside and outside and love being able to go out into the garden thru the day and have a good run around I am good with other dogs however I would not do well being locked outside 8+ hours a day, I definitely need to be part of a family.

If you worked from home I am more than happy to have a dog bed in your office and just keep you company while you mutter about your work colleagues but if you go off to work that is fine too - i will sleep and entertain myself while your gone, as long as i have at least one other dog furbaby to hang with.

Also just need to make sure I go to a home with kids who understand they can't carry me as I have a long spine and don't want to be dropped or hurt.

I am working on my house training and my foster mum says we are about 97% there
