About McKenna

McKenna is a sweet, silly dachshund who's ready to steal your heart. She's full of personality and a little bit sassy. McKenna adores other dogs and can often be found cozying up in bed with her dachshund foster brother. Always by your side, she greets you enthusiastically when you get home and curls up beside you while you work. This affectionate girl balances playfulness with relaxation, showcasing moderate energy. While she isn’t a big barker, her cute little grunts and grumbles will keep you smiling. When it comes to food, McKenna can be a bit picky, favoring meat and wet food over other varieties. Fruit-based treats are a no-go for her! As a dachshund, she's looking for a family that understands the importance of protecting her back. Proper lifting techniques are essential, and both kids and adults should know how to support her properly. Although she may be on the short side, McKenna prefers to walk on her own four paws instead of being carried around. Her foster family describes her as a genuinely good dog ready to bring smiles and snuggles to her forever home. Could McKenna be the little shadow you've been looking for? ❤️
