Helen (Sister Goldie)

Helen is a 6-year-old smooth chocolate dappled dachshund who is roughly 16 lbs. She came in with her sister Goldie, and we will accept applications for both of them together or separately. However, Helen doesn't like most other dogs aside from her sister, and they are not compatible with cats. Helen could be ok with a larger, neutral dog that isn't too young, wild or dominant.<br/><br/>Helen had a recent dental and her sister Goldie has her dental on May 7th. <br/><br/>Helen is silly, sweet, and enjoys walks. She is a "shadow" to her people and loves to be pet, especially belly rubs.<br/><br/>Goldie is sensitive, sweet, and takes a while to feel comfortable. She is 5.5 years old and is compatible with other small dogs. She had a bout of IVDD in 2025, but has since made a full recovery. She does have some separation anxiety, but we think this is due to having to be in a separate foster home from her sister.<br/><br/>To be considered for Helen or her sister, please apply on our website:<br/><br/>https://portlanddachshundrescue.org/adoptionform<br/><br/>Helen's Criteria:<br/><br/>A home setting with a securely fenced backyard<br/>A home with no other dogs, or a home willing to adopt her sister Goldie, also<br/>A cat-free home<br/>Kids 10+ ok
