About Luke in NC
Meet Luke, a charming seven-year-old Dachshund who might just be the perfect addition to your home. This little guy weighs in at 17.7 lbs and has a striking smooth red coat. Luke has been working hard on his training, especially with some guarding issues in his past. Thanks to his professional training, he’s learned the command "leave it" and has made wonderful progress in obedience. He enjoys taking long walks and getting lots of attention, but he can be a bit nippy around larger dogs, so he prefers calm interactions. Luke thrives in a quieter environment, ideally a home with a fenced yard and no small children. He doesn’t get along with cats, but he can coexist with other small dogs or be the only pet. It's essential that his new owner is experienced with Dachshunds to continue his training. While he generally does well, he can be wary of new people, so a home with few visitors would be best. He came into rescue after being surrendered by an owner who let him reign supreme, and he’s looking for a final forever home where he can continue to thrive. If you think you can provide the right environment for Luke, he’s eager to meet you! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
