About Luke in NC

Meet Luke, a charming 7-year-old Dachshund currently in Winston-Salem, NC. With his smooth, red coat and small size, he’s a handsome fellow. Luke's journey to become a well-mannered companion has included some professional training, helping him overcome past guarding behaviors. He's learned commands like "leave it," which allows you to safely take things he might be guarding. While Luke loves spending time outdoors, he needs a fenced yard to satisfy his playful side. He's house trained and crate trained, and he enjoys his daily walks, though he prefers a quieter environment. He is not a fan of larger dogs and tends to shy away from strangers, so a calm home with few visitors is ideal. While Luke is great with other male and female dogs, he’s not suited for homes with cats or young children. Additionally, all potential adopters will need to discuss his ongoing training with his foster mom. He’ll thrive best in a home with adults or older children aged 14 and up. If you're looking for a loyal and affectionate companion that's full of character, Luke might be just the dog for you. Don't miss the chance to help him find his forever home!
