Joey's Story
FOSTER HOME LOCATED IN RICHMOND HILL<br/>Joey was timid and anxious when he first arrived in foster care, which resulted in him barking at me if I got to close to him. When meeting new people, he needs his personal space otherwise he can be a bit nippy. After a few days of settling in, he has become devoted to those who care for him, but he remains a little wary of strangers. Joey will need to be supported in building his confidence to overcome this fear of strangers. He will occasionally bark at noises he hears outside and from the hallway of my condominium.<br/>Joey was a little bit overweight when he first arrived. However, he has been on a diet plan with good food and a regular exercise program which has resulted in him achieving a healthy weight. He’s always eager to go out and he loves his long walks. He will pull a little if he sees wildlife or if another dog barks at him, but generally he walks well on his harness. After returning from walks I always wipe his paws with pet wipes, which he doesn’t mind. He also doesn’t mind having a bath. When Joey first arrived, there were a few toileting accidents, however when taken out at regular intervals he doesn’t have any accidents. He goes out for his last bathroom break at 10.30-11pm and sleeps until 7.30 am before<br/>needing to pee. During the day Joey happily sleeps in his bed or next to the window where I work so he can birdwatch. At night he sleeps in his crate in my bedroom (with the crate door open) however I do close my bedroom door to prevent him from wandering. Joey has been with me for 6 weeks, during which time he has shown that he loves giving and receiving affection. To date he has only been introduced to older teenagers and adults (as well as his cousin<br/>who is another Miniature Dachshund). He does have some toys, but he shows little interest with them although this could change. He’s currently living in a condo and has no issues with elevators. He has no problem going in a pet carrier and travels well in the car.
