About Dave

Dave recently joined the rescue and is eager for a permanent home. This 7-year-old Pug/Dachshund mix exudes a solid temperament, blending playful energy with affectionate cuddles. His foster mom can't stop raving about his gentle nature; he's a real sweetheart who loves giving kisses and is always ready to play. At 20 lbs, he has a charmingly squat yet elongated body, highlighted by a curly tail and that signature pug underbite. Dave is dog-friendly and adapts well to others of all sizes. He's housebroken, leash trained, and exhibits wonderful manners, whether indoors or in a crate. Social and friendly with strangers, he’s perfect for anyone looking to include a furry companion in their daily adventures. Be mindful that he may require a secure yard due to his escape tendencies. His ongoing health includes being neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, with a recommended dental in the upcoming year.
