Zig Zag

Meet ZigZag — The Adventurous Sausage Dog with a Big Heart!<br/>Name: ZigZag<br/>Breed: Dachshund (aka Sausage Dog)<br/>Age: 5 years old<br/>Sex: Male / Neutered<br/>ZigZag is a lively, loving little guy who’s full of personality! He’s happiest when he’s outside — playing in the snow, splashing in the water, or joining you on a paddleboard adventure. He loves car rides and road trips, and he’s always ready to explore by your side.<br/>He’s incredibly affectionate and adores humans. He’ll follow you everywhere, wants cuddles all the time, and learns new tricks quickly because he’s super smart! ZigZag enjoys walks, fetch, and solving food puzzles. He’s adaptable, easygoing with routines, and very loyal to his person.<br/>What ZigZag needs:<br/>A calm, patient human who understands dachshund behavior and is willing to help him work through some of his “spicy sausage” habits. He also needs to lose some weight and his future family will need to be aware of the sensitive backs that the breed has, to be sure that he doesn't do too many stairs or jumping off furniture and needs to be picked up in certain circumstances to help avoid any herniated discs or back issues.<br/>ZigZag’s quirks:<br/>He barks — a lot! He gets talkative when he hears noises, sees squirrels, or just feels like announcing something. He doesn’t do well with cats or other dogs and prefers a quiet, adult-only home. ZigZag can sense anxiety, so he thrives best with a confident, relaxed person who can help him feel secure.<br/>He’s got a stubborn streak (like any good dachshund!), but with time, patience, and love, ZigZag will be the most loyal and cuddly adventure buddy you could ask for.<br/>Ready to welcome a brave little explorer who’ll steal your heart (and your blanket)?<br/><br/>Zigzag is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and sterilized and will come with his medical booklet. <br/><br/>Sometimes a dog takes a little more time to open up, you may see them showing more and more of their personality over the course of the first few days, weeks or even months. We don’t know all that they’ve been through before they were rescued, but they are so forgiving and full of love and it’s worth every tough moment in the end. Developing a trusting relationship with your rescue dog is the most important thing. Stability, patience, positive reinforcement and love are the most important things! <br/>________________________________________<br/>Rencontrez ZigZag — le petit chien saucisse au grand cœur!<br/>Nom : ZigZag<br/>Race : Chien saucisse (Dachshund)<br/>Âge : 5 ans<br/>Sexe : Mâle / Opéré<br/>ZigZag est un petit aventurier plein de vie et d’amour! Il adore jouer dans la neige, se baigner, faire du paddle board et partir en balade en voiture. C’est un vrai compagnon de route!<br/>Très affectueux, il aime les humains plus que tout et suit son humain partout. Il apprend vite, aime les marches, les jeux de balle et les jeux d’intelligence. C’est un chien colleux, loyal et toujours prêt pour un câlin.<br/>Ce que ZigZag recherche :<br/>Une personne calme et patiente, de préférence quelqu’un qui connaît bien la race des chiens saucisses. Il doit aussi perdre un peu de poids, et sa future famille devra être consciente que cette race a le dos sensible. Il faudra donc éviter qu’il fasse trop d’escaliers ou qu’il saute du mobilier, et le prendre dans les bras dans certaines situations afin de prévenir toute hernie discale ou blessure au dos.<br/><br/>Ses petits défis :<br/>ZigZag aime beaucoup “parler” — il jappe souvent quand il entend un bruit, voit un chat ou un écureuil, ou quand on éclabousse dans l’eau! Il ne s’entend pas bien avec les chats ni avec les autres chiens, et il a besoin d’un foyer sans jeunes enfants.<br/>Il ressent beaucoup les émotions humaines, donc un humain calme et sûr de lui l’aidera à se sentir en sécurité. Il peut être têtu (comme tout bon chien saucisse!), mais avec douceur et constance, il deviendra un compagnon fidèle et adorable.<br/>Prêt à adopter un petit explorateur qui vous fera rire, bouger et aimer encore plus fort?<br/><br/>Zigzag est vacciné, micropucé, vermifugé et stérilisé, et il repartira avec son carnet de santé.<br/>Parfois, un chien peut prendre un peu plus de temps avant de vraiment s’ouvrir. Vous pourriez voir sa personnalité se dévoiler de plus en plus au fil des jours, des semaines ou même des mois. On ne sait pas tout ce qu’ils ont vécu avant d’être secourus, mais ils sont tellement remplis de pardon et d’amour que chaque moment difficile en vaut la peine. Développer une relation de confiance avec votre chien rescapé est la chose la plus importante. Stabilité, patience, renforcement positif et amour sont les clés!
