About Hotdog Buddy

If you are looking for a professional true crime watcher and lap sitter, look no further! My name is Buddy, and I am an adorable, incredibly affectionate Dachshund who is about 7 years young. I am medium-sized, though my foster mom thinks I'm a little "chonky" because I do love snacks and am very food-motivated. I am very handsome with loving eyes and I love giving kisses and all the affection. I even enjoy baths and the attention I receive on spa days!

I have a unique personality, and nothing makes me happier than seeing someone reach for a leash to take me outside for a walk or just to play and roll in the grass. I am still working on my leash manners, but with time, I know I'll be able to be more patient. I have enjoyed roaming in the fenced-in yard and love going for car rides, looking out the windows and sight-seeing!

During the day, while my foster parents are at work, I am happy to lay around my open crate in the same room with my foster sister. I slept in the crate at night a couple of times, but my foster mom got lonely, so I got in bed with her and my foster sister.

I do seem to get along well with other dogs and made friends quickly during a recent nail trim visit. I am interested in the cat where I stay, but she doesn't seem to reciprocate my friendly overtures.

Ideal Home

My ideal human(s) would be either a quiet older person or a retired couple who could devote their time to me. I bond strongly with my special person and am looking for someone who can be home with me to solve true crime shows together. I don't care for sudden movements or loud noises and will be discerning about new people, so I don't think I would do well around small children as their energy may be overwhelming to me.

Ongoing Health

Buddy is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. His adoption fee is $300.

Training & Support

I am learning to not jump when we have company or when someone comes over due to my excitement, but I will, with patience, learn to be calmer. I am a very smart boy who prefers routine and will alert (bark) when I want to go outside to potty or just get out of the house. I know a treat is coming when I've been a "good boy."
