Dachshund | Madison, Wisconsin | 236516 | Dachshunds

Hello! My name is Cyrus. Before we begin, I will tell you some things. I am a long red haired miniature dachshund. AKC papers and all. Nothing in this ad will be sugar-coated. I'm looking for a family with patience, time, and energy to focus on me. I need to be the ONLY animal in the house. I don't get along with dogs, cats, little children (under about the age of 15), people on bikes, people on motorcycles, delivery people, house guests, or the doorbell. I have been rehomed two other times, and my newest owners don't have enough patience for an alpha dog like me. Which is okay, that gives you the chance! I'm house trained but frequently have accidents on the floor. I don't really know how to let my owners know when I have to go out, so you'll have to take me out pretty frequently to make sure I've gone. Don't let me back in unless I've gone! I have a bit of a temper problem. When meeting new people I like to bark, so when you're first getting to know me; don't look into my eyes. Kneel down to my level when petting me at first, then I'll get used to you! I've bitten people in the past, and I'm very sorry for it. I've never hurt other animals but I'm best kept at a distance. When you take me for a walk be sure to keep me clear from other animals, especially other dogs. When a child asks to pet me, please say no. I have back problems (my owners have the medications if they get bad!) so a house without tons of stairs would be ideal for me. A good walk is medium in length twice a day or short in length three times a day. I love to eat! Be sure to feed me twice a day, and never leave food in my dish. I can't be over weight due to my back. I'm not picky, whatever food you have will suit me fine. I have no daily medications, just monthly flea and tick meds and the regular heartworm protection. I'm up to date on all of my shots (including distemper and rabis) and just had a very recent vet visit. If you want to meet me before you adopt, then please contact my fine owner! If you would like to pay a rehoming fee, please feel free. Any offers would be amazing. I come with my kennel, and some toys. Medications, and some food. I'd love to go to a family of two or less who has had tons of experience with dogs like me! Putting all of my disabilities aside, I am a wonderful dog who loves to fetch outside, curl up next to you on the couch and play with you. I'm a good guard dog, and a wonderful companion with a bright future (with the right help). Please, pick me!
