Christina is a 5 year old mini long-haired dachshund. Described by her foster family as the most adorable, beautiful little dog who will steel your heart. She can be nervous and shy around new people but once she trusts you, she loves nothing more than to follow you around hoping you’ll sit down and pick her up for a cuddle and doggie kisses. Once she’s chosen you for her friend she will never be far away.
She has just started to venture out into the big world and is unsure of people she meets out on a walk she will either sit and watch them or move out of their way.
She’s a quiet dog who’s confidence is slowly growing as she gets used to this new world she’s found herself in.
Christina is afraid of cats but with encouragement from the resident dog will chase her.
Christina is really inquisitive around children. She feels comfortable in their company especially ages 8+ who are happy to smooth her and give her tummy tickles.
Before arriving in foster Christina had never seen a toy and has not yet shown any interest in playing with them. She needs a special little friend to show her how to play.
Christina allows you to put on a harness and lead and will then follow you. She can be overwhelmed once she’s out in the big wide world and needs gentle encouragement to walk but as long as her humans are close for reassurance she’s happy to explore slowly. It’s important to remember that she can be fearful of dogs whilst out on a walk especially if they run towards her or try to greet her so socialising with other dogs slowly is a must and making other walkers aware she’s scared will help not push her into a panic.
Christina sleeps on my bed with the other dogs in the home but chooses to snuggle up to foster mum instead of them. She sleeps all night is completely dry doesn’t snore and isn’t a wiggle bum.
Christina is house trained as long as she has regular access to the garden.
Christina eats with the other dogs in the home. She will give them a little growl if they approach her bowl but the resident dogs have quickly learned to leave her alone. She adores food and treats.
Christina can be rehomed as an only dog or with knowledgeable owners and a quiet laid back dog. She’s picky when it comes to choosing her doggie friends so positive introductions are a must. She needs a home with kind gentle loving humans who will have the time and patience to let her come out of her shell in her own time and won’t rush her. She hasn’t had the best life and hasn’t experienced much of the outside world and we would love her to experience all the things only a dog could dream of. She deserves her very own special family who will shower her with so much love. We know when she finally sees the world in a more positive way she will be the most incredible little girl who will reward you with the best doggie kisses.
