Plenty of Pets
Duchess is a 10-year-old Dachshund who does not like being left alone.
She will whine and how if left alone but isn’t destructive.
Her new person will need to have lots of soft beds and blankets for her to burrow in.
Duchess needs to be dressed to go outside on cold days. She walks well on leash and is house trained, but she’s nervous in a car. She loves snuggling in a lap and getting lots of attention.
She would do well as an only dog, or with a dog of similar size and temperament. She needs a home with no cats or children.
