About Enoch

Enoch is a one-year-old Dachshund mix with a fun, goofy streak and a heart full of love. He enjoys making friends everywhere he goes and thrives on being social, happily playing with other dogs and showing no interest in the resident cat. Enoch’s favorite move is to sneak behind you in your chair for some back rubs before sliding down to claim belly rubs. He craves a home with a fenced yard, where he can dash around to his heart's content. While he’s still learning leash skills, he’s already crate trained and steadily improving with house training, especially when kept on a reliable routine. This friendly, affectionate guy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Enoch gets along well with children, dogs, and cats, making him an easy fit for a lively household. He’s ready to provide laughter and affection to his future family. Enoch is currently with Pet Helpers, Inc. in Fairmont, WV, and can be adopted out of state if picked up in person.
