About Slinky

Meet Slinky, a charming and laid-back little dachshund mix around 7-8 years old, in search of his forever home. He came to us from an overcrowded shelter, where he spent months being cared for by a loving foster family. Now, he’s a happy companion, thriving in his current environment. Slinky is housebroken, walks nicely on a leash, and knows basic commands. He enjoys being close to his people, soaking up attention and belly rubs, and curling up on a cozy dog bed. He’s been great with other dogs and cats and is even crate trained. Although he's heartworm positive, Real Dog Rescue will cover the treatment costs. Slinky is truly a wonderful companion—affectionate, easygoing, and eager to please. He deserves a forever family that will love him as much as his foster family does. What are you waiting for?
