Rio is a 9 month old Dachshund who welcomes people into the home with a wagging tail whilst backing away. He enjoys cuddles on his own terms and will settle when he feels safe.
Rio until he gets to know you is a scared and nervous sausage who will back away from you if approached. However if you put your hand down, he will come sniff it but then backs away. He just needs time to decompress and trust.
Not cat or small furry tested but young enough to learn under supervision.
Rio can be homed with sensible children aged 5 and upwards.
Rio is not sure what to do with toys but foster mum will sit on the floor and encourage play time with a ball and squeaky toys. He will get there and beware any squeaky who comes his way when he finds his paws.
Wearing collar, lead and harness is a work in progress. He is fine with a collar and harness on but not a lover of the lead being attached, and will back away when he sees it. So patience is required to show him that it is a good thing.
During the day he sleeps in the living room in a dog bed, during the night he sleeps in a crate in the kitchen.
House training is going well, but accidents do happen occasionally. He needs a routine to keep him happy.
He is a good eater and eats fine around the other dogs with no resource guarding and will gently take treats from your hand.
Rio can be an only dog or live with other dogs. He will fit into any home as a great little dog with a family who will encourage and give him confidence to show.
