Arthur's Story

Presenting Arthur, a resilient soul looking for a patient heart and a playful pack! Coming from a puppy mill background, Arthur is looking for a specific kind of hero—someone with experience navigating the unique needs of mill survivors and a deep love for the Dachshund breed. Arthur’s world used to be very small, so he is quite timid and needs some reassurance to understand he is safe. However, he is highly food-motivated, incredibly smart, and—once he trusts you—a total snuggle bug. Because he is a typical young dog, Arthur has energy for days! He requires a home with at least one other confident dog to help him find his brave face and keep up with his high-octane play style. He’ll need a family dedicated to daily exercise to please his youthful spirit. Who needs this green eyed beaut?!
