Eevee

❤️ Meet Eevee ❤️

Chocolate Miniature Smooth Dachshund | 6kg
🎂 Born: 1 August 2019

Eevee is a gorgeous chocolate miniature Dachshund with a big personality and a softer, quieter side. She is toilet trained and enjoys the comforts of home, having her own space and being close to her people.

After spending the last six months living outdoors due to tenancy restrictions, Eevee would absolutely love to return to being an inside family member, sharing the couch, enjoying companionship and being part of everyday family life.

🐾 A Little About Eevee
Toilet trained.
Loves the company of male dogs, particularly older, calmer boys.
Can be selective with other dogs and generally does not get along with female dogs.
Has lived happily with a young child, but needs children who understand boundaries and are gentle with her.
Can be a little reserved and isn't particularly fond of rough play or too much fuss.
Sleeps happily in her crate and will take herself off to bed when she's ready.
Can be quite vocal and excited when her favourite people arrive home!

Eevee generally copes well when left during the day, particularly if she has toys, treats and other things to keep her occupied. However, she does appreciate canine companionship and has occasionally howled when left alone overnight without another dog.

🏡 What Sort of Home Is Eevee Looking For?

We think Eevee would be happiest in a home:

With an older, friendly male dog for company. Younger, boisterous dogs may be a little too much for her.
Where someone is home more often than not, ideally working part-time, from home or retired.
Where she can enjoy life as an inside dog and be included as part of the family.
With respectful children who understand when she needs her own space.
With an owner who understands dachshund behaviour and will respect her boundaries.
⚠️ Important Things to Know

Eevee can be reactive if unfamiliar dogs or people approach too closely or too quickly. She may snap when she feels uncomfortable, so she needs an owner who understands this and can manage her interactions appropriately.

Walks must always be on lead, and dog parks and off-leash areas are not suitable for her.

She has not been introduced to cats or pocket pets, so we cannot confirm how she would react to them.

❤️ Medical History – IVDD

Eevee suffered Stage 5 IVDD in 2024. Thankfully, she made a recovery following eight weeks of strict crate rest and prescribed medication.

A medical waiver will apply, and prospective adopters will need to understand and accept her medical history and the potential risks associated with IVDD.

Eevee is looking for a loving home where she can feel safe, settled and included in family life again. With the right companion and someone who understands her little quirks, she has so much to offer.

Could you be the special person who gives Eevee the home she deserves? ❤️
