About Dachshund Dogs

Dachshunds are bold, spirited little dogs with personalities that far exceed their size. Originally bred for hunting, these clever companions are curious, playful, and endlessly entertaining. Their unique silhouette and expressive eyes make them instantly lovable.

Adopting a Dachshund means welcoming a spunky, devoted friend into your life. They form strong attachments to their people and love being involved in everything. Their small size makes them excellent apartment dogs, but don't underestimate their big-dog attitude.

Adopting in Manhattan, KS

Manhattan's Little Apple nickname and Kansas State University community make it a friendly city for pet adoption in the Flint Hills. Local shelters serve a community that combines college-town energy with agricultural heritage, producing caring pet owners.

With Tuttle Creek State Park, the Linear Trail, and the Konza Prairie Biological Station nearby, Manhattan gives adopted pets access to tallgrass prairie, lake recreation, and paved urban trails. The university community drives strong shelter volunteer programs.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

15°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold and windy with moderate snowfall. The Flint Hills wind makes temperatures feel much colder. Dress pets warmly and limit exposure on the windiest days. The Linear Trail in town provides some wind protection.

Spring

32°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Tornado season is serious on the Great Plains. Have a pet emergency plan. Prescribed prairie burns at Konza can create smoky conditions. After burns, the fresh green grass attracts wildlife visible on walks.

Summer

65°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Hot with persistent wind that provides some relief but also dehydrates pets faster. Tuttle Creek Lake offers cooling opportunities. Walk early morning and carry water. Konza Prairie hikes are best avoided in peak heat.

Fall

35°F to 72°F
