About Pickles
🐾 Meet Pickles 🐾
With her wagging tail, cheeky smile, and loving nature, Pickles is everything people adore about Dachshunds!
This gorgeous little lady loves her daily walks and is always ready for an adventure, but she's just as happy curling up beside you afterwards for a cuddle. Pickles thrives on companionship and would love a family where she can be part of everyday life.
She's a well-mannered girl who is toilet trained, although she does appreciate being taken out into the yard when it's time to do her business. Pickles also has fantastic recall and already knows "drop," making her a delight to spend time with.
One of her most adorable little quirks is the way she eats—so gently and delicately that it's impossible not to smile.
If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with plenty of personality packed into a small body, Pickles could be the perfect addition to your family.

Medical notes
Heartworm Information
Heartworm disease is uncommon in the Southern Downs, so ARK does not routinely heartworm test or administer heartworm prevention to dogs in our care. Should a successful applicant wish to have a heartworm test performed before adoption, we are happy to arrange this.
