About Louie
We have an amazing miniature smooth haired Dachshund looking for a home. Louie is 5 years old, black and tan (D.O.B. 31.07.2021).
Louie is registered with the Master Dog Breeders and Associates - and has a Certificate of Pedigree.
Everyone knows that the Dackie has been a very popular breed over the past few years and there are a lot of breeders out there, trying to make a quick dollar. LOUIE has come from a home where their circumstances have changed and in the best interests of their pet, they make the decision to rehome him. We do not judge in these circumstances, and it is our intention to find him the best home that he deserves, remembering that he still has many happy years ahead of him.
Anyone who owns a Dackie usually loves the breed unconditionally - we have a fabulous Dackie Club here in Port Macquarie where they have weekly get togethers.
You'll often see them walking their dogs together along the streets and waterways.
So, we know Dachshunds are very loving and loyal dogs, but they are stubborn. It is important that they are socialised from an early age, hence the walking group!
Our dackie will require a secure backyard to explore in, doesn't need to be huge, but he also requires two walks a day.
Louie is in foster care and has settled in nicely, he has adapted to different situations, living on a property with many other animals, loves chasing lizards. We do not recommend a home with cats.
This cutie would suit a single person or a couple who spend a lot of time at home. They love human company and enjoy plenty of cuddles. We do not want this boy exposed to young children for the simple reason that dackies are prone to having back problems, meaning they should avoid jumping off tall furniture or running up and down stairs.
Louie needs 24 hour access to the home, and must be allowed to sleep inside. In these cold winter months, he was happy to wear his little jacket to keep him warm, his short coat doesn't offer him much protection, but keeps grooming costs to a minimum! Summer, of course, is perfect for a Dackie!
We would like prospective adoptees to research this breed, if they are not familiar with it, before applying for our boy. They are not for everyone, but once you have owned a Dackie, it is hard to move on to any other breed!
Louie is de-sexed, fully vaccinated and has a clear health report from our vets.
If you are interested in our little man, we would ask you to send an enquiry via Pet Rescue, in the first instance.
COME ON DACKIE LOVERS! THIS GORGEOUS BOY IS WAITING FOR YOU!!

Midcoast Dog Rescue Inc. is trying to expand its foster carer network so that we can help more dogs in need. This is a very rewarding experience and suits a variety of people. Some people, for whatever reason, are unable to make a permanent commitment to a dog, a commitment which can last for up to 15 years. Others use the fostering experience as an interim measure before committing to permanently owning a dog. If you think you could be interested in becoming a foster carer, either on a long-term or a short-term basis, and would like more information please contact Nigel on 6584 4992 or Wendy on 6584 7027.
