Charlie Sweetie

To start the adoption process, please fill out our form on our web site at: www.spokanewienerdogs.org and see the Adopt a Dog/Fee page with more details on how we adopt our dogs. There are a lot of questions answered on our web site and personality details below about each dog so please read BEFORE getting in touch. Thanks.

If our dogs listed on Petfinder then they are still available for adoption (unless noted by a "pending") and they will stay listed until we find them the right homes with our adoption paperwork all finished. Thanks.

Please indicate which dog you are interested in on the form. You can also view our adoption contract sample there as well and read about our adoption process like site visits and paperwork needed to adopt.

This breed of hunting dogs is too noisy and active for most apartments so please do not fill in our paperwork if you do not have a secure, fenced yard unless the dog personality details below tells you they are suitable for apartments. Thanks.

We also do not recommend wieners for children under age 7 as Dachshunds will bite to defend themselves if the children are too active or hurt this breed of dogs. Dachshunds are too smart to allow themselves to be abused.

These dogs are hunting dogs, even the tiny ones, which means that most have a very high prey drive so they will hunt your cats, ferrets, birds, etc. and kill or hurt them unless noted below in their details. Mine here are always killing moles and mice all over our farm and they do leave my barn cats alone because I have trained them to do so, but that is against their nature.

And overfeeding a Dachshund is on of the worst things anyone can do with this breed. If you can't resist sad eyes and keep them on a strict diet of one cup of food a day or less for minis 12 pounds and under then this is not the breed for you unless you like vet bills later for bad backs or other obesity issues. These dogs need exercise constantly to stay in hunting shape.

There is an adoption fee of $150 for this dog. No phone calls or emails please. Please see our web site for details.

This amazingly sweet guy is Charlie and he is in our rescue because his mom went to a retirement home and the family could not keep him. Charlie is a nine-year-old, 15 pound, neutered male who is as mellow as they come. Calm, sweet and a lap lover he is now looking for a lap to love.

Although Charlie is nine most of the dogs in this breed live 14+ years so he is looking for a home for some fun as he is perky for his age outside and loves laying in front of our woodstove or on a lap inside. Quite a lovable dog. We can find noting wrong with his personality. He has been a beloved family pet for many years and I know why. He is sweet!

Charlie gets along great with all the other dogs and just watches the kitties. he is looking for a more calm home without a bunch of children. If you had some other pets who were mellow then he would like that although he came from an only dog home, but we try to place them with a dog budddy if we can.

If you want one that is not a pain in the rear then this might be your boy.
