Abbie is a small, female Dachshund in Marshall, TX. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has a short coat. While she is not yet house trained, she is friendly with dogs.

About Abbie

Abbie is a retired breeder eager to find a patient, understanding family for her next chapter. She’s a sweet dog but is still discovering what it means to be a loving companion. Abbie hasn’t experienced a typical home setting, so learning household routines, leash walking, and responding to calls will take time and consistency. To set her up for success, we require an adult-only home with no children under 15, as she hasn't had exposure to kids yet. A fenced-in yard is strongly recommended for her safety during this transition. Abbie is still mastering the basics, and a secure outdoor space will give her the freedom to adjust while feeling safe. These requirements are designed to ensure she finds the right environment where she can build confidence and thrive as the wonderful companion we believe she can be. What are you waiting for?
