About Dean

Meet Dean, a charming Dachshund who’s found his way to Dakota Dachshund Rescue after a troubling past. Once living in an abusive environment, he’s now safe and adapting to his new life. Dean loves cuddles and being picked up, showing his affection easily. This little guy, weighing around 9 pounds, is about 4 years old and does best in a home with a physically fenced yard.

Dean has left behind his old challenging behaviors but might need some time to adjust to his new surroundings. His adoption fee is $400 plus tax, covering essential vet care including neutering and vaccinations. Dean is ready to find a loving home where he can continue to feel safe.
