Sneakers mom became ill and was no longer able to care for him. The family was unable to keep him and wanted a safe place for him to live while he searched for his new home.

This wild and crazy boy is having a great time in his foster home! He is all about his people and is still a bit like glue with his foster family. He is a barker and a whiner of he cant see them, so is learning to behave when his people are out of sight or he is home alone.

Sneakers needs a single story home, as, like so many dachshunds, he has had a slight worry about his back. Basic pain meds got him back in shape, but he hasn't had a lot of exercise for a while and needs to get back out for walks! He enjoys the area Greenways and would enjoy outdoor cafés!

This is a fun, well behaved dog that just needs a great place to live with social folks who are somewhat active. He needs to maintain his current weight to help keep his back strong. Stretches and swimming may also be good for him!
