My story

Pappy Van Wrinkle came from a shelter. He's an adorable Chiweenie and probably a little more Chi than Ween. He's very friendly and loves to meet new people. Today he went with his foster dad to a MADMUG meetup (Metro Atlanta Dachshund Meet Up Group, https://www.facebook.com/share/1CYFnNHR4r/?mibextid=wwXIfr ) and did really well with all the dogs and people. He gets very excited at the chance to approach other people and dogs. He's great with small children too! He’s 100% using a doggie door. His foster dad says he's a quick learner and should have it down in no time. Pappy is still learning about walking on a leash, but as long as he's in a harness he does really well. This little guy is up for adventures and does great riding in a car. With a nose for adventure, a secure fence is a must. Pappy likes to sit near a window and look outside if he's not burrowed under a blanket. Burrowing under a blanket.....yeah, he's got some dachshund in him! If you are interested in adopting Pappy Van Wrinkle, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Pappy Van Wrinkle's adoption fee is $500. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Pappy Van Wrinkle will go to his / her new home microchipped, spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed. Almost every dog's veterinary expenses exceed our adoption fees; we are a non-profit. DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia. Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part. DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back. Follow us on Instagram , Facebook and Twitter

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Pappy Van Wrinkle, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
