🌟 Meet Talisman, a tender-hearted soul who’s ready to steal your heart! At just 1 year old and weighing in at 11 pounds, this charming CKC-Dachshund mix has endured a rocky journey, having been left in a crate with seven other dogs in a warehouse. But fear not, because Talisman is now blossoming into the loving companion he was always meant to be! ❤️ Imagine this: Talisman starts his day bright and early, waking up around 6-7 a.m. for a quick potty break before snuggling back into the cozy world of dreams. Breakfast comes around 8, after which he enjoys some more outdoor time. With a penchant for a peaceful daily routine, he loves lounging close to his foster parent or his adorable canine partner-in-crime, Penny, an 18-pound Chihuahua mix whom he adores. 🐶💖 As the sun beams down on him during lazy afternoons in the backyard, Talisman radiates sheer contentment. And when the evening rolls around, he transforms into a world-class snuggler, curling up on the couch or nestled into a warm lap, adding warmth to anyone lucky enough to be in his presence. 🌞 This sweet boy has blossomed under the guidance of his canine companion Penny, learning to navigate through life with newfound confidence. His playful antics have blossomed, including his very first zoomies in the backyard—an adorable milestone for a pup who once felt closed off from the world! 🎉 Talisman has been charming humans too! He’s ventured out to a wine bar, where warm cuddles from friendly strangers left him glowing, as well as parties in the park where he rode in a backpack like a pro! He starts a little shy but consistently amazes everyone with his quiet grace in new experiences. Truly, he’s a little gentleman. 🥂 This delightful pup is on a journey of discovery and, therefore, will thrive under the loving care of a patient, experienced adopter. Talisman is still mastering the art of leash walking, so a gentle guide with some knowledge of timid dogs would be perfect. Ideally, he would flourish in a calm environment with no pressure and the companionship of a friendly resident dog to show him the ropes. 🏡 With steady progress in housetraining, Talisman communicates when he needs to go outside by pacing, and though he sleeps soundly in his crate, he dreams of being nestled next to you. He’s a quick learner and loves to be close, always following his foster from room to room, quietly curious as he builds his confidence. Talisman is in search of a loving home that understands the beauty of moving at a slower pace. With love, patience, and those charming whiskers to melt your heart, this sweet boy promises unwavering loyalty and companionship. Let Talisman fill your home with joy and cuddles—you won’t regret it!💕 To start this beautiful journey together, *apply through the Buddy App* today!
