Introducing Artie, the enchanting, energetic puppy who’s ready to light up your life! 🌟 This delightful boy is not just any ordinary pup; he’s a blend of black and tan, with a smooth coat that’s as engaging as his personality! He weighs in at 17 lbs and is still under 1 year old, so you know he’s bursting with youthful energy and a zest for life! 🐾 Artie’s story begins with a family who sadly couldn’t take him along when they moved. Now he’s on the lookout for a forever home where he will thrive! This sweet, playful fella absolutely adores spending time with other young dogs — after all, what’s better than a buddy to run and play with? 🐶🏃‍♂️ Artie is on a quest for an active adopter who has a large, secure fenced yard (please, no invisible or electric fences) so he can frolic freely and run at full speed! 🏞️ He’s looking for someone who is home a lot and can match his energy with lots of exercises, backyard play, and adventures. This little dynamo needs a canine companion who can keep up with him, someone who loves to spar and play all day long! Now, let’s talk about Artie’s temperament. He’s a vivacious little fellow who demands a home that understands high-energy pups. He’s not crate-trained, and trust me, he is not a fan of being confined! So, a home with experience in training dachshunds and playful pups is a must! 🏠 Artie will thrive in an environment away from apartments, condos, and townhouses since he’s a bit of a barker—he has passion, what can we say? It’s important to note that Artie would do best in a household without cats or small children; he’s just too energetic for that! 🚫🐱 A note for potential adopters: keep your eyes sharp, because Artie has a curious spirit and loves to explore every nook and cranny he can find! 🔍 Artie is currently being fostered in beautiful Maryland. Local adopters will be given preference so an in-person home visit can be conducted, ensuring that he finds the perfect place to shine. To meet Artie and begin your life of playful adventures together, prospective adopters must be willing and ready to drive to Ellicott City, Maryland (just a short jaunt from Baltimore). So, are you ready to welcome boundless joy and energy into your life with Artie? ⚡ Apply now to adopt him through the Buddy App! Your new best friend is waiting for you! ❤️
