Dot

Hi, my name is Dot, and I am a Miniature Dachshund, and I am 5 years and 2 months old

I came into care a few months ago from a breeder who wasn't the greatest and the rescue has worked really hard to show me that life is great, and people are lovely.

I came into care with Pyometra (this is a serious and potentially life-threatening infection of the uterus that causes it to fill with bacteria and pus - sorry about that information) but the rescue rushed me to the vets and sorted all of that out ((I was desexed) - so I am now happy and healthy and will have no further issues.

When I came into care I was very scared and nervous but knew that people wanted to love me and I was happy to get cuddles and love from them

I did have to go to another carer when my foster mum was going away - my new foster was ready for a quiet, shy nervous girl but I came in with some confidence and a big tail wag.

My new foster mum works from home and she has two kids (10 and 5 one boy and one girl) and they hang out with me while they read, watch tv or play on their play station.

My foster mum also has a couple of dogs and I love to hang out with them, interact with them, and just be a dog. I currently have options of sleeping in the lounge room with another dog or I can sleep on the bed happily - Not going to lie if I really have an option of where I want to sleep the bed with you will always win.

My new foster mum thinks that because she has a couple of other small breeds who are friendly and fun that has also brought that out in me - and I love to just have a run around outside with the other dogs - I think as I spend more time with other dogs I will learn how to play etc.

I also love thru the day snoozing in comfy spots - dog beds, couches, out on the back deck sunbaking etc etc.

If you are home being a work from home, stay home, retired, shift worker etc I will happily keep you company - following you around and supervising with my long nose when you do anything!

I also love a good a good lap to snuggle on and love to stare into your eyes while you pat me. Yes that does mean I will sit on you and stare at you!

I can be nervous when meeting new people so I do need a few minutes just to settle and get used them, but the rescue thinks as time goes by in my forever home that will lessen as I will be confident and settled.

I am toilet trained

I currently weigh 5.1kg

I am currently living with two cats, my foster mum says i don't really pay any attention to them, unless they suddenly just pop up in front of me startling me and then i give a little bark.

I am currently learning how to walk on a lead, I am still building up for long distance (cause remember my legs are little) but would happily take a slow stroll around the neighborhood

I absolutely love food so if your foodie we could bond!
