Howard

Meet Howard!

Hi, I'm Howard the handsome Miniature Dachshund.
I am very much loved by my current family but they have come to realise that their busy family homelife just isn't something I enjoy - so I am looking for a quieter pace of life now!
I am a sweet and affectionate boy once you know me, who loves having a cuddle and sitting on laps. I can be playful but will also sunbathe all day long given half the chance.
I am a bit of an anxious boy and a reluctant walker. I don't enjoy busy urban life, (you wont catch me in a cafe or pub I'm afraid), I am much happier having a potter along a nice grassy rural footpath. In this kind of environment I am much more open for an adventure. I don't have any recall so I will need an owner who is happy to keep me on a lead unless in a nice secure and safe place. If my new owner had a good sized grassy garden where I could run to my heart content that would be ideal - as boy I run fast when my little legs get going!
I will need a home that doesn't have a lot of visitors or strangers walking past as this makes me anxious and I will bark. It is best if I do meet any visitors outside of the home first as I may try and protect you and nip at their feet.
I thrive on routine, and would love some one on one attention. I am not suitable for children or cats and we would have to try another dog.
I am a gorgeous little boy who at the moment just isn't getting the attention I deserve, so I am hoping there will be a new home out there that's just perfect for me.

Howard is on our Home Direct Scheme, which means he will remain with his current family until a suitable match is found and all meets will be done here at the centre.
