About Timber

Timber is a charming one-and-a-half-year-old purebred red smooth mini Dachshund. He has been neutered and is up to date on all vaccinations, with a clean bill of health following his stool and heartworm tests. While Timber is a sweet dog, he can initially be skittish around new people, though he warms up quickly with patience. He gets along with other dogs, albeit with a hint of bossiness. Timber tends to prefer the company of women over men, making him suited for an all-female household, or one with a gentle, patient man who can take the time to bond with him. He is house trained and will walk on a harness with some coaxing. It's essential for potential adopters to have Dachshund experience. To adopt Timber, a secure fenced yard and veterinary reference are absolute musts—no invisible fences or tie outs. His adoption fee is sponsored at $0.
