Some dogs quietly settle into your life—Mina makes herself the center of it in the best possible way. You’ll feel her little presence the moment you sit down, as she curls into your lap like it’s the only place she’s ever meant to be. At just 8 pounds, this one-year-old wire haired dachshund brings a perfect mix of affection, charm, and just enough sass to keep you smiling. You’ll love how she follows you from room to room, happily supervising your day before hopping up for a cuddle break the second you pause. Whether it’s a quiet evening on the couch or a busy morning at home, Mina stays close—content, engaged, and always ready to remind you she’s there with a gentle nudge or a kiss. Her sweet, social nature makes it easy for her to settle in, while her classic dachshund determination adds a playful spark that makes every day a little more fun. If you’re searching for a dachshund for adoption or hoping to adopt a rescue dog, Mina is for you. She will bring companionship, personality, and warmth in one tiny package. She’s a natural fit for someone who wants a devoted lapdog and a constant, loving companion. Mina is available for transport to the Vernon, CT area, serving adopters throughout Connecticut and the greater New England region. Most adopters are within a 1–2 hour drive of our transport meetup.
