About Cupcake

Cupcake is a delightful young Dachshund who is making a smooth transition into her foster home. She thrives on affection, often cuddling up close, hopping onto laps, or following her humans around. Rescued from an abandoned road in Puerto Rico alongside a male companion thought to be her sibling, she has quickly shown her love for people. This social butterfly greets everyone with excitement, even making friends at local coffee shops during her walks. Estimated to be 1-2 years old, Cupcake embodies puppy-like energy with her playful and silly antics. Though she’s still learning the ropes with other dogs, she feels more at ease with smaller canines and enjoys gentle companionship, especially with her foster brother Barley. Whether it’s cozy cuddling or some playful wrestling, she knows how to adapt her energy. Cupcake requires a loving family that can support her as she develops her manners while giving her the love and playtime she craves. Her adoption fee is $275, and prospective adopters must be willing to travel to the Baltimore area for a meet and greet. Let’s help Cupcake find her forever home!
